7 Kiddylicious meals for hungry tums

7 Kiddylicious meals for hungry tums

Our Kiddylicious meals are suitable for slightly bigger children (we don't say an exact age because all "little people" are different)- use from 10-12 months as a guide. We certainly know of many school-aged kids that still enjoy them. It's also not unusual to find an empty bowl on a desk in the office at lunchtime.

Our Kiddylicious meals are suitable for slightly bigger children (we don't say an exact age because all "little people" are different)- use from 10-12 months as a guide. We certainly know of many school-aged kids that still enjoy them. It's also not unusual to find an empty bowl on a desk in the office at lunchtime.

Packed in kiddy-sized bowls and full of yummy goodness Kiddylicious meals have herbs and spices to add flavour - no added salt or sugar anywhere - and are frozen to lock in all the scrumptious tastes and nutrients. They have the exact same textures as adult food, just with little "spoon-sized" pieces so that they're easily manageable. Perfect for independent little toddlers who want to feed themselves.

And, because little people can be fussy when it comes to vegetables we've made it easy- our recipes have hidden and visible veg so even the pickiest eaters will get some of their five-a-day. (We don't hide them all though, kids need to learn what peas and carrots are!).
