Incursions that inspire
Workshop Inspiration
Little Food Scientists: Explore the science hiding in everyday food. Kids investigate how ingredients change, react and transform — think fizzing, foaming, melting and mixing — while learning the "why" behind what happens in the kitchen.
Eat the Rainbow: A colourful, hands-on exploration of fruit and veg. Kids sort, taste and create dishes across every colour of the rainbow, discovering how colour connects to nutrition and building genuinely positive associations with fresh produce.
Seasonal Kitchen: A workshop that changes with the calendar. Kids create around holiday themes such as Easter or Christmas and have fune exploring food ideas with these themes
