During our Startwell Stay & Play session for children aged 2 and under, we hosted a fussy eating workshop focused on #Micky Me Size portion guidance, providing families with one-to-one support where needed. 

Healthy Start vitamins and practical fact sheets for families to take home. The children explored the variety of activities from tracing their hands,  role-playing with foods and dinosaurs.
