Healthy kids cooking kits delivered through your letterbox! Each month receive a new recipe with all the dry organic ingredients your little cook will need to make it.
These lovely little boxes offer quality time with children, away from screens and distractions, while cooking up something yummy and healthy together.
Designed by Helen, a registered nutritionist, each monthly box contains an easy to follow recipe and all the dry organic ingredients perfectly measured out to make it, free from refined ingredients like sugar and gluten. These lovely kits make cooking with kids fun, easy and healthy!
Children who cook are less fussy, eat more veggies and learn an essential life skill – how to feed themselves. But alongside these important benefits, we hope that our boxes offer opportunities for connection – so many of us recall helping in the kitchen as some of our happiest childhood memories, and we want our boxes to help create as many of those precious moments as possible.

First News is a weekly newspaper aimed at 7 to 14-year-olds that aims to get kids talking about the news in an easy to understand and non-threatening way.
It covers issues which are relevant to children and which specifically affect them. Inside you’ll find a mix of world news and UK news, but also loads of fun stuff, such as entertainment, games, animals, sport and puzzles. Reporting the good news too!
News is all around us and children pick up on news wherever they go. But not all news is bad and we passionately believe there are lots of positive stories out there. We love to cover the nice news too and celebrate what is good about the world.
Children and parents love the bright, colourful format and fascinating pictures that support the stories. The articles are just the right length to keep children’s attention. And it looks like a newspaper – this goes down really well with kids!
