Explore the world through your kitchen with eat2explore’s kids’ subscription box service. Your kids will be immersed into a world of cultural experiences as you enjoy exotic ingredients and recipes from 18 different countries/regions like Italy, Mexico, Greece, Japan, and more! What’s really fun about these boxes is that unique spices and sauces are included in each box which is typically hard to find in most grocery stores. Each box includes recipes, history and geography, and is the perfect way to learn more about our world.
eat2explore provides three easy-to-follow recipes and a shopping list to purchase proteins and vegetables of their choice, as well as including hard-to-find spices and sauces. Once kids are done exploring the country, they’ll love they can track their "travels" with a sticker on their eat2explore passport and collect country flag pins, as well as a fun cooking tool that corresponds to each box.
The boxes can be purchased one box at a time, or through a monthly subscription. Available at eat2explore.com, Amazon, Williams Sonoma and Kohls.
