Your June E-Zine

Flavour, Friendship & Learning Through Food

Hello and welcome to the June edition of the Marmalade E-Zine,

This month, we’re diving into the joy, connection and learning that happens through food. Whether it’s baking bread, hosting a pretend café or tasting fruit from around the world, food offers rich opportunities to build language, independence and a sense of belonging.

Mealtimes and food play are full of potential, not just for exploring maths, science and culture but for strengthening friendships, encouraging cooperation and supporting sensory regulation.

Inside this issue, you’ll find:

🍞 Ideas for real-life learning in the kitchen
🍓 Snack time rituals that build connection and language
🍕 Food-themed role play to spark imagination
🥣 Invitations to taste, explore and get hands-on with ingredients

From mixing and pouring to chatting about favourite meals, food helps children feel seen, capable and part of a community.
