Curious Gastronaut is the most fun and whimsical way for kids to learn about the edible world and grow up to be adventurous, happy, and healthy eaters. With this cooking game for kids (and grownups alike) explore the exciting world of food like an astronaut explores outer-space—with curiosity, excitement and bravery. Take your senses on an adventure and discover new textures, flavours, aromas, combinations that are out of this world and revisit familiar ones with a different perspective—It will forever change the way you and your little humans perceive food. Following the prompts on beautifully illustrated cards, use your imagination to gather matching ingredients, creatively combine them to invent a bite-size dish, plate it, name it and taste it using all your senses. Choose from 3 different modes of play, play with or without real food and play for as little or long as you like—there’s something for everyone! Great for selective eaters, budding chefs and everyone in between.
