Food Explorers relies on experiential learning and tasting, to help kindergarten and grade 1 students have fun exploring a variety of foods.

The Food Explorers teacher workshop helps you guide students through hands on food experiences that focus on the mysteries of tastes to concrete, first-hand experiences with food, focusing on the mysteries of tastes, textures and colours of food. The program includes preparation of simple recipes and encourages students to try new foods.
