25 mums and dads, 35 kids, one fantastic face painter and a walking smoothie descended on Fruit Towers last Saturday for a morning of fruit filled fun.
There was bird feeder making with Tansy.
Colouring in and magnet art with Ben.
Smoothie making workshops in the kitchen with Eleanor and Lucy F.
Fruit hat making with Kat and Gayle.
The chance to chat to Ness all about healthy eating tips for kids.
And the chance to test our brand new kids website.
All of which was thirsty work so Alison and Abi were on hand to serve refreshments which included lots of yummy carrot and courgette cakes made by Abi's lovely sister.
However, the highlight of the morning for the kids seemed to be the chicken (which everyone under 4ft tried to take home)
Closely followed by Ben being covered in glitter.
Everyone gave us their healthy tip for getting fruit and veg into kids as they left and you can print your very own copy right here (just click on the image below to make it really big).
Inspired idea! Love the chicken too. Do you have plans for another?

This looks brilliant! It would be great if you could go into schools and afterschool clubs to do these kinds of activity sessions, it would go down a treat where I work. It's so important to teach children about healthy eating, fruit and veg and their 5-a-day in a fun way, and you've hit the nail on the head!
Well done innocent. You're brilliant!
