Crafty Foodies

Fun Handcrafts to Promote Health

The Crafty Foodies series was designed as an alternative health promotion activity for those who love handcrafts. They are also a great play experience for children.

Our Crafty Foodies activities promote our 5 key messages and can be done in a group setting, at a branch meeting, or in the comfort of your own home.

We have a range of different activities available; some are free and others require items that you can purchase from our online store or your local craft shop. Check out our video tutorials on our YouTube for detailed instructions for each activity.

Felt Food Models

We have put together templates and instructions enabling you to create a visual tool to help with understanding what a serve of vegetables or fruit looks like.

Hard copies of the Felt Food Models How to Guide can be requested from the team or downloaded here.

Each booklet comes with instructions for:

  • Banana
  • Pear
  • Apple
  • Pineapple
  • Potato
  • Carrot
  • Eggplant
  • Beetroot

We love to see your Crafty Foodie Felt Models in use! Be sure to post a photo of your completed set on our Facebook page @qcwacountrykitchens

Kid’s Aprons

Our kid’s aprons come printed complete with instructions on a tea towel which we show you how to turn into an apron in a few simple steps.

The team has put together a handy how-to guide with materials you will need, instructions and a link to a video tutorial. You can use this guide to turn any old tea towel you have at home into a funky kids’ apron! 

Country Kitchens Bunting

Looking for ways to jazz up your Country Kitchens display? Our bright and colourful bunting can bring height and colour to your event marquee! Each bunting tea towel will create five double-sided triangles, which you can intersperse with triangles made from a fabric of your choice.

The team has put together a how-to guide that lists the materials you will need, instructions and a link to a video tutorial. You can find lots of colourful fruit and vegetable fabrics from your local quilting or craft store to complete your bunting.

Country Kitchens facilitators can order the bunting tea towel through their CK buddy.

Fruit and Veg Hair Scrunchies

Our fruit and vegetable hair scrunchies are a great activity for children learning how to sew. Made from your choice of fun fruit and vegetable fabric, you can use this activity to start a conversation with your child about why getting our recommended serves of fruits and vegetables is so important.

The team has put together a how-to guide listing all the materials you will need, instructions and a link to a video tutorial.
