Joyful Plates organises events and workshops for children and families with activities centered around food. We believe in the importance of fostering joy, creativity, and learn about different cultures through food inspired activities and stories.
Our events and activities are mainly designed for children aged 4 to 12 years old. Parents or guardians are welcome to join and participate alongside their kids during our family playdates/ events. For drop-off workshops, do let us know in advance if you would like to join.
Currently, our events are primarily held in select locations in Melbourne, Australia. We aim to expand our reach to more regions in the future.
To join our upcoming playdates, simply visit our website and check the Events section for registration details. Spots are limited, so make sure to reserve your spot early!
Our playdates feature a variety of fun and educational activities, including cooking sessions, storytelling, craft-making, and more—all centered around the theme of food and joyful learning. We also find opportunities to introduce second language, mostly Mandarin now, but we do aim to include other languages soon.
We provide all necessary materials and ingredients for our activities. Just bring your enthusiasm and a willingness to have a great time!
We understand the importance of accommodating dietary preferences and restrictions. Please inform us of any special dietary needs when registering for an event so we can make appropriate arrangements.
Absolutely! We offer customizable packages for private events such as birthday parties or gatherings. Contact us directly to discuss your event requirements.
