Foodstix is a local business in Byron Bay offering wooden cutlery  that is easily disposable but is not harmful to our environment. Whether you need knives, forks or spoons or our famous FOODSTIX we can provide them for you at competitive prices. 

 FOODSTIX was established after the founder, who is passionate about children with high needs and their day to day struggles, food usually being a major one in most cases . With this in mind, she made it her mission to provide eco-friendly product that can be used by children and adults alike, that are highly affordable for her customers. Also a platform for parents and caregivers of high need children to share hints and tips to help each other create a more experimental environment for their children to try new foods and make life a little easier for both children and parents/caregivers. 

 There is little to no information on how to help your child/adult to try new things especially when it comes to food, usually being such a sensory overload and chance to feel at times your child might be eating one food for the rest of their lives! 

 Feeding kids in today’s world isn’t easy. Not only do parents have a lot of pressure to raise healthy kids, they don’t always get the support they need to make it a reality and this is where the founder of Foodstix has come up with a product that your child can relate too, call their own and gives you options on how introduce new foods into their diet. 

 Most high-needs individuals are Picky Eaters they express their independence through eating — or not eating, as the case may be especially if the foods are touching!  So nearly all toddlers could be described as picky eaters. If kids don't like a food, they won't eat it — it's that simple. 

One of the keys is to serve right-sized portions with you can regulate easily with Foodstix. Parents often overestimate how much food a child should eat. Especially with foods that aren't yet favorites, a couple of tablespoons is plenty to start with placed separately from their favourite foods to encourage experimentation and small, seperate portions are less overwhelming without ruining their “favourites”. 

 You choose the foods on your toddler's plate — and you don't have to serve macaroni and cheese daily. If you do, you miss a chance to introduce new foods and increase the number of foods your child is willing to eat. With the use of Foodstix you can introduce the macaroni portion and cheese portion separately on the same plate, maybe even along side some mac and cheese to encourage just a small try of the same ingredients that are in the meal they so specially like.
