Bub’s fun, first steps to loving Healthy Homecooked Meals.
Sometimes picky eating is more about the sensory experience of a food than just because they don’t like it.
As adults, we know that the experience of food is just as important as the flavour. It’s why we have favourite cafes, and do meals with people we love.
Some kids are just sensitive to different things.
If your child is stuck on processed foods, then don’t forget that the “mouthfeel” and the way they feel in the hands have both been designed to be loved. These foods become “safe”.
Mashblox are squishy and tactile to appeal to all ages, so that it’s that much easier to take that first bite. Just fill them to the corners with mash food, and let your bub do the rest!

Mealtime can be fun time!
"Alessio loves his Mashblox, but not as much as me!! How else can you let a 7 month old feed themselves Weetbix?"
“Very excited that she was so happy to eat green veg. The mashblox really makes it fun.”
Mashblox was designed with babies needs in mind.
Babies love to play and explore the world through their mouths. Mashblox simply applies these instincts to a fun and practical way for bubs to feed themselves. We just give them the tools.
“They know exactly what to do with it” – Ruby, Mum of Angelica, 9 months
Mashblox promotes problem solving, motor skills and early independence.
As your bub figures out how Mashblox works, they will start exploring and learning. They will get more practice with reaching, grasping, pinching, squeezing, stacking and lifting, all the motions required to help your child’s development, on their own, while they’re eating.
“Madelyn loves to feed herself, but breakfast time was always tricky… and messy! After seeing Mashblox at the Canberra Kids Market we couldn’t wait to try them! Weet-bix & fruit puree worked a treat and while she still got quite messy, the floor didn’t! I can’t wait to see if she will be more open to veggies this way, too! Thanks Alix 😊” – K, Mum of Madelyn, 14 months

Mashblox can turn foods they don't like into their favourites.
Has your child said no to food even before they’ve tried it? Chances are your child doesn’t like the way the food looks. Sometimes using a tactile utensil that’s familiar to your little one will help them try new foods.
"She won’t eat avocado, but if it’s in Mashblox she will. That’s really important when she’s got low ketone epilepsy.” – Deeana, Mum of Hayley, 3
“Picked up a Mashblox… and it was a big hit! Banana usually gets tossed and not eaten, put it in the Mashblox and it was devoured!” – L (from Facebook)
Mashblox is loved by all children. Not just babies.
Kids don’t get sick of Mashblox either. We have 8 year olds telling us how much they love them. They become a portion size for lunchbox treats such as yogurt, sultanas and nuts, once they reach primary school.
Mashblox teaches children important feeding behaviours.

“We thought he didn’t like porridge. We tried Mashblox and it turns out he just doesn’t like having things shoved in his mouth” - Sam, Mum of Eddie, 10 months.
Fill Mashblox® with healthy foods of your choosing, and let their playful instincts and natural curiosity to explore with their hands and mouth do the rest!
