Why Food Explorers Quest Has Become Our No.1 Best Seller 🌱

When we first created Food Explorers Quest, we knew we wanted it to be more than just another activity book. We wanted to create something that genuinely helped children build healthier relationships with food — without lectures, pressure or complicated learning.

And honestly? The response has been incredible.

It has quickly become one of The Wonder Company’s best-selling resources, used by:

• HAF programmes

• Schools

• Holiday clubs

• Community organisations

• Parents

• Wellbeing teams

But why has it connected with children and providers so well?

Because children don’t want another worksheet.

Children learn best when they feel curious, involved and excited.

Food Explorers Quest turns nutrition and wellbeing into an adventure.

Instead of simply telling children what foods are “good” or “bad”, the resource encourages:

• exploration

• creativity

• confidence

• independence

• conversations

• and positive choices

The activities are playful, colourful and challenge-led, helping children engage with food in a way that feels fun rather than educational.

That’s why providers tell us children actually want to complete the activities.

It supports healthy habits without shame or pressure

One of the biggest reasons the resource works so well is because it avoids shame-based messaging around food.

Instead of focusing on restriction, guilt or “perfect eating”, Food Explorers Quest helps children:

• understand balance,

• recognise food groups,

• think creatively,

• build confidence,

• and explore healthy habits positively.

That makes it especially valuable for:

• HAF providers,

• wellbeing programmes,

• schools,

• and clubs supporting a wide range of children and families.

So why add a Plantable Pencil?

Because engagement matters.

Children love rewards, collectables and interactive experiences — especially when they feel different or memorable.

That’s why we decided to pair Food Explorers Quest with something children genuinely get excited about:

The world’s only plantable pencil 🌱

Once children finish using the pencil, they simply:

✔ Plant it

✔ Water it

✔ Watch it grow

It transforms a simple pencil into:

• a sustainability activity,

• a conversation starter,

• a wellbeing moment,

• and a reminder that healthy habits can grow over time.

It also beautifully connects with the themes inside Food Explorers Quest:

• healthy eating,

• nature,

• growth,

• confidence,

• and positive choices.

Why it works so well together

The combination of the activity book and plantable pencil creates something bigger than just a “free gift.”

It becomes:

• an experience,

• an achievement,

• and something children remember.

For providers, it’s also a brilliant engagement tool:

• children love taking it home,

• it creates conversations with families,

• and it adds excitement to nutrition-focused sessions.
