Activities and supporting content

Inspired by a classic restaurant industry trick of providing children with activities to do at the table, GSF designed activities that would support the Creel to Meal events and be presented on a placemat at the restaurant events. 

Activities include origami nephrops and colouring in sheets, supporting materials created include three recipe cards designed to celebrate the taste of scottish produce.
