Bean Sprouts, a nationally recognized kid-friendly cafe and cooking school
Bean Sprouts, a nationally recognized kid-friendly cafe and cooking school

Sausalito, California (PRWEB) March 07, 2014 -- For parents looking to get picky eaters excited about trying healthy new foods, Bean Sprouts—a nationally recognized kid-friendly café and cooking school--introduces a new experiential learning app: Bean Sprouts: Cooking Fun for Kids, just in time for National Nutrition Month.

“Bean Sprouts aims to spark kids’ appetites by making healthy food fun. Our new app is an extension of our mission—an engaging, playful way to get kids excited about trying new tastes, especially vegetables.” Shannon “PEA-casso” Seip, co-founder

Designed for children eight and under, the one-of-a-kind app features a cute cast of silly pea and bean characters—including Peacasso, Let it Bean and Pea Rex-- who guide users through playful recipes, like Crocamole and Snack Man, star in food games and magically appear in videos. The app offers a play-by-play of how to create the most popular “Imaginibbles” recipes from Bean Sprouts Café and the award-winning book it inspired: Bean Appétit: Hip and Healthy Ways to Have Fun with Food.

In honor of National Nutrition Month, the app is free March 7-9 in the iTunes online store for iPhones and iPads. After the promotional period, the app will cost $0.99, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting The Junior League's “Kids in the Kitchen” initiative.

“Our Kids in the Kitchen program has been providing hands-on experiences to teach children about healthy eating since 2006. We are proud to partner with Bean Sprouts to get kids excited about eating healthier and introducing new foods in a fun and engaging way,” said Laurie Dodge, director of marketing and development for The Junior League.

Bean Sprouts: Cooking Fun for Kids, teaches kids how to make fun, good-for-you foods like Crocamole—guacamole hummus disguised as a crocodile, and Snack Man—a pineapple and blueberry snack that looks like the lead character of a famous video game.

“Bean Sprouts aims to spark kids’ appetites by making healthy food fun. Our new app is an extension of our mission—an engaging, playful way to get kids excited about trying new tastes, especially vegetables,” said Shannon “PEA-casso” Seip, co-founder of Bean Sprouts Café and Cooking School, co-author of Bean Appétit, and mom of two boys.

In addition to dressing up characters with silly accessories and facial features (called Build-a-Bean), kids can test their “Pea Brain” with food-themed puzzles and memory games. The app, designed by top kids’ app developer Playrific, also includes:

• Spill the Beans: Quirky conversation starters with a food theme, such as “If rain could fall in any flavor, which flavor would you choose?"
• Mmmmatch ‘em Up: Kids improve their food IQ by matching vegetables
• MasterPEAs: As an artist draws a food scene with a pencil, kids try to guess what it is. How long will it take to figure it out?
• Bean an Artist: Kids discover their inner artist by coloring fun Bean Sprouts characters.
• Bean Bags: A silly scavenger hunt to make trips to the supermarket more fun!
• Imaginibbles: Yummy, good-for-you reciPEAs and videos!

The app has no ads or in-app purchases for parental “peas"-of-mind. Healthy recipes for kids, videos and other content will be periodically updated to keep content fresh. To purchase the Bean Sprouts: Cooking Fun for Kids app, go to http://bit.ly/beancookingfunkids.
