Busy parents that have children displaying fussy eating behaviours benefit greatly from the Play with Food classes. The Play with Food signature program, Breaking Down Barriers to Eating Through Play focuses on fussy eating behaviours.
Play with Food offer a range of workshops and programs related to children’s  eating experiences. Simone’s unique class concept comes from a passion for running fun children’s activities, her training in feeding therapy and her background in learning and development in the corporate world.  The classes aim to be multi-disciplinary and approach children’s feeding from a variety of angles.  The point of difference in Simone’s group classes are that they are designed for all children and parents to participate in together.
