Product details

Big landscapes. Little discoveries.

Bring Scotland to your kitchen table with Little Food Explorer: Scotland, a beautifully designed 74-page A4 digital activity book for children aged 8-12 with an adult helper. With 31 new illustrations, rich Scottish landscapes, inviting recipe pages and creative discovery missions, this edition combines the feel of an illustrated magazine with activities children can make their own.

Explore Scotland through pictures and stories

Discover Edinburgh, Dundee, Oban, Perthshire and the Highlands across five illustrated place features. Look closely at markets, waterways, harbours, berry farms and Highland habitats, then turn those observations into drawings, questions and discoveries. A Scotland learning map and an additional food-story feature connect places, ingredients and everyday family cooking.

Four recipes, 32 pictured cooking steps

  • Tattie Scones: turn potatoes into soft, triangular pan-cooked scones.
  • Crisp Scottish Oatcakes: mix, roll and bake savoury oat crackers.
  • Raspberry & Oat Discovery Pots: layer raspberries, yoghurt and toasted oats in an alcohol-free recipe inspired by cranachan.
  • Cosy Lentil & Vegetable Soup: discover how lentils and vegetables soften and change texture.

Each recipe includes an illustrated opener, ingredients and equipment, eight detailed pictured steps, clear adult and child roles, readiness checks, allergen and storage guidance, and a discovery lab for comparing textures and recording observations.

Twelve missions across 24 activity pages

Every mission pairs a large illustrated introduction with a dedicated working page, giving children room to draw, write, design and explain:

  • A five-place Scotland discovery board and harbour evidence detective challenge.
  • A seed-to-supper comic and Highland habitat design.
  • A wildlife connection web and tartan-inspired pattern.
  • A pretend market receipt and Scottish food match cards.
  • An explorer word-code and an illustrated adventure postcard.
  • An imaginary explorer café and a food-story museum.

Optional stretch challenges add depth, while answer guidance helps adults support the open-ended activities. The missions can be enjoyed independently of cooking, and no real-world trip is needed.

Everything for a flexible family adventure

  • One 74-page A4 PDF with a redesigned cover and 31 new scene and spot illustrations.
  • Five place features, four recipes, 32 pictured steps, four recipe labs and 12 two-page missions.
  • A session planner, combined shopping list, equipment checklist and kitchen agreement.
  • An explorer passport, family celebration page, certificate and answer guidance.
  • Clickable contents, PDF bookmarks and research links.

Read on screen or print selected pages at A4, 100% size, in colour or greyscale. Choose one small session or return to the book over several afternoons. Children can explore by observing, drawing and discussing; tasting is always their choice.
