Your little one's first bites are a moment where many things come together. Novelty, anticipation, sometimes enthusiasm, and sometimes doubt. For your baby, learning to eat is much more than just tasting. It's feeling, seeing, smelling, and discovering... all at their own pace.

That's why the first eating moments should be playful. Without pressure and without obligation. Because learning to eat doesn't start with bites, but with trust, curiosity, and especially a lot of fun. And if that fun can also be fruity? Then Lola says: Go banana go!

Nutritious imagination at the table

Even before a baby actually eats, a lot is already happening. Their eyes follow the colors on the plate, their hands feel textures, and sounds curiously attract their attention. The world at the table is explored step by step, with all senses at once.

Our board books fit perfectly with this. They bring fruits and vegetables to life in a playful and safe way, even before any bites are taken. Looking together, naming, laughing, and discovering. This way, eating grows not from pressure, but mainly from pleasure and recognition.

Go banana go!

The booklet 'Gaan met die banaan' perfectly complements the first eating moments. In this sturdy book, babies get acquainted with the fruity HÖNGRY gang in all colors and shapes. They invite to look together, point, and playfully recognize colors, shapes, and food.

While reading, the same thing happens as at the table. You point, name, and repeat:

“Look, Lola Banana.”

“The banana is yellow.”

“And there's Teddy Tomato! Round and red.”

No pressure, no expectations. Just discovering, looking, and naming together. Curious about the booklet? Click here.

Positive eating moments

The first bites rarely go according to a fixed plan. Sometimes it goes smoothly, sometimes with a bit of searching, and that's perfectly okay. We believe that positive eating moments grow when children are allowed to follow their curiosity. By looking, feeling, naming, and repeating, trust is built.

Discovering at the table

This same idea is reflected in products specially designed for the youngest ones. Shapes that are pleasant to hold, colors that stimulate without overwhelming, and materials that invite touching and discovery.

Step by step

The first bites don't have to be PEAR-fect. There should be room for messiness, laughter, and above all, discovery. With a book, a spoon, or both at the same time. This way, eating gradually becomes something familiar and something to enjoy together!

Tip for a cheerful table

You can never predict how the mealtime will go, but you can create a cheerful atmosphere. For example, Trixie's tableware is colorful and already adds a cheerful note to the table! And their dinnerware matches our books perfectly.
