Curious Gastronaut - Food Exploration Game
Curious Gastronaut™ is a set of food exploration cards designed to make food fun. By bringing the endless benefits of play to the table (literally), it enables children to explore new food and learn about the edible world in a fun and pressure-free way and become curious, healthy and adventurous foodies.
Take your senses on a journey and discover new textures, flavours, aromas and combinations that are out of this world and revisit familiar ones with a new perspective—It will forever change the way you and your little humans perceive food.
Why is Curious Gastronaut™ important, especially for little people? The benefits are endless.
