Little Chefs, Big Ideas! With Soup 'N Ladle & Innov8social
🍽️🌿 A Hands-On, Hearts-Full Family Adventure!
Join us for a joyful, interactive day designed for kids and their families to get curious about food, sustainability, and being changemakers in their own kitchens and communities.
Together, we’ll explore where our food comes from, how we can reduce waste through upcycling, and how cooking can be both creative and kind. Oh, and we’ll read a story or two about a certain pineapple with BIG dreams. 🍍✨
