This engaging, curriculum-connected workshop is inspired by the children’s book Seven Silly Eaters. Students begin by listening to a read-aloud of the story, followed by a guided discussion about picky eating, trying new foods, and showing appreciation for those who prepare meals at home.

Students complete a cross-curricular art and early writing activity by completing a thank-you card (provided) for a caregiver. They illustrate their favourite food and complete sentence prompts expressing gratitude and identifying ways they can help with food preparation at home, with adult support.

The workshop includes a short hands-on cooking experience, where students collaborate to prepare a big, fluffy, pink lemonade cake inspired by the story. Through this activity, students practice teamwork, follow simple instructions, and develop basic food literacy skills.

Students will build vocabulary, practice listening and sequencing skills, explore healthy food choices and develop confidence in the kitchen.

Students will have the opportunity to sample a small portion of cake (or mini cupcakes). The cake will be either pre-baked or baked in the school staff kitchen depending on available facilities and school approval.
