What is Eat Move Learn?

Who is Eat Move Learn for?
For children
Eat Move Learn is your place to discover, try and explore. You can learn cool facts, try fun activities, cook simple recipes and even grow your own food. With the help of Flower, Mixer, Searcher and Pedal, you will build skills and confidence to make healthy choices every day.
For parents, guardians and teachers
Eat Move Learn provides trusted, engaging resources to support children’s health and wellbeing. Everything is designed to make healthy eating and physical activity simple, practical and easy to include at home or in the classroom.
What to expect from Eat Move Learn
Eat Move Learn is built around four simple ideas that help children understand and build healthy habits in everyday life.
1. Health facts
Children can explore simple, clear information about food, the body and staying healthy.
This helps build knowledge and confidence so they understand why healthy choices matter.
Children can try fun ideas to help them move more, whether at home, at school or outdoors.
The focus is on making activity enjoyable and part of daily life.
3. Growing food
Children learn how to grow fruit and vegetables, even in small spaces.
This helps them understand food, try new things and feel more connected to what they eat.
Children can follow simple, child-friendly recipes with adult support. Cooking helps them try new foods, build confidence and develop practical life skills.
