1. Know your peas “From Sprout to Spoon"

Invite kids aged 6–10 to track the life of a humble pea pod, from seed to snack. This activity booklet is brimming with games, drawing prompts, plant observations, and even a kid-friendly pea muffin recipe. No garden? No problem – just bring your imagination. Along the way, children will discover where food comes from and how their choices can shape a healthier planet. Download the booklet for free here.

2. Host a ‘Sustainable Master Chef’ competition

    It’s time to put on the apron and cook for the planet. Using our Sustainable Pasta Superhero lesson, children design a pasta dish that’s nutritious, delicious, and eco-friendly. Then, they pitch their recipe to win the title of Pasta Superhero. Expect creative sauces, surprising ingredients, and some friendly competition.

    3. Take part in a plant-based milk challenge

    Ready to get creative in the kitchen? Kids can experiment with making plant-based milk from oats, almonds, soy, or coconut. Taste tests are encouraged – you could even invite friends or family to guess the ingredients!

    To finish off the experiment, you can compare the nutrition content, taste, and cost of your creation to dairy milk. Learn more here.

    4. Laugh and learn with the ‘Protein Power’ comic book

    What do lentils, eggs, and algae have in common? They’re all stars of our playful new comic book, created by our Spanish hub. With friendly characters, fun facts, and a focus on sustainability, it’s designed to spark curiosity and make nutrition science accessible. Download the comic in Spanish here.

    5. Race against time in the ‘Foodly Secret Recipe’ game

    Henry, the chief of R&D at Foodly, has invented the perfect chocolate-covered snack – but there’s a twist. His laptop password is lost, and the recipe will self-destruct in 25 minutes! Kids must solve puzzles, crack codes, and race against time to save the snack. Play online or offline, and for older kids, challenge them to design their own food-themed game. Take part here.
