About Blocs Intummy Izobraževalna Učna Igrača
Blocs in tummy je bil ustvarjen, da bi posredoval koncept, da ima vsak dostop do varne in ustrezne hrane.

Geometrijske bloke hrane lahko delite med otroki, da jih napolnite v prazen želodec punčk, vodeni po knjigi zgodb z ilustracijami, da izboljšate spoznavanje delitve hrane in uživanja v hrani.
