SEASIDE - Park Hotel Leipzig

”... mmh, tastes good!”
October 2010 saw the commencement of an innovative
new children’s activity at the Seaside Los Jameos
Playa kids club: “Mange Tout Kids”.
The Director and founder of U.K. based “Mange Tout
Kids”, Lucy Thomas, created an exclusive programme of
activities for the children’s club at Los Jameos Playa which
took place from the 25th until the 29th of October 2010
for children aged between 4 and 8 years, valued at 300 €
per child.
This family holiday with a difference comprised of five
days of four hourly classes, at which each day the
children at the kid’s club were to touch, smell and taste
different fruits and vegetables by means of songs, games
and activities with the help of Lucy’s best friend & mascot
”Pod” the green bean, all this at no extra cost to clients!
Each day of the “Mange Tout” programme was colour
themed with a variety of activities which included cookery,
arts and crafts, games and song. Children made
caterpillars with courgettes and carrots, and sang the
hokey cokey celery while amazed parents watched how
their children previously fearful when faced with fruits
and vegetables began to have fun!
“Don’t force your children to eat” recommends Lucy,
“encourage them to explore by kissing, licking and
crunching!”
Lucy Thomas of “Mange Tout Kids” created this new
approach to fruit and vegetables for children after
experiencing during her life as a nanny the amount of
children with eating disorders and the distress this causes
for parents. Encouraging children to eat the healthy
“5 a day” is not always an easy task!
The “Mange Tout” healthy eating concept for kids combines
perfectly with the healthy and quality selection of
foods that are available at the Los Jameos Playa breakfast,
lunch and dinner buffets, and parents found their
children experimenting with enthusiasm at meal times
with the new fruits and vegetables that they had discovered
during the “Mange Tout” classes.
Based on its success, future dates for “Mange Tour Kids”
are being programmed at the Seaside Los Jameos Playa.
This is the perfect holiday for families who are looking for
more than a traditional kid’s club.
The “Mange Tout” programme is in selected nurseries
throughout the U.K. and Lucy offers families one-to-one
coaching and support for children with eating disorders,
she has written a book on the topic and was selected in
May 2011 to appear as a nutrition expert on the BBC programme
“Fast Food Baby”.
