Welcome, Class, To Lidl Foodies!
As Fresh Produce Retailer of the Year, we're helping everyone to enjoy deeeeeelicious fruit and veg, at berry tasty prices. What's more, we're growing children into Lidl Foodies!
So far, over 132,000 children have taken part in our free, fun and educational schools' programme. The three exciting workshops, one in each term, sow the seeds for a healthier, tastier future for the next generation of fruit and veg enthusiasts across Britain.
LETTUCE Introduce Our Workshops:
1. Lidl Tasters:
In the autumn term, children became "Foodie Detectives” and went on a spudtacular adventure, using all five senses to discover the smell, taste and texture of fresh fruit and veg.
2. Lidl Growers:
This spring, they will dig into how fruit and veg are grown, plus there’s a berry exciting challenge for the class to ‘grow their own’.
3. Lidl Makers:
In the summer, they will learn first-hand how to make some a-maize-ing tasty and nutritious recipes.
So, come on parents and carers, get your school to join in and help kids discover that eating healthily is fun, exciting, and absolutely deeeeeelicious!
