Lunchtime Hero - 3D Printed Cafeteria Award Figure with Activity Guide
SKU: LTH-HERO-5IN-fig
The Lunchtime Hero is a 3D-printed, hand-painted produce superhero for your cafeteria, about 5.5 inches tall. He turns "take a fruit or vegetable" into "taste it," and rewards the tables that do.
How to use him: Give him to the best table each day as a traveling award, or station him on the serving line as a friendly greeter. Kids hurry to their seats to try their new food for a chance to eat with the hero, so good behavior and brave tasting are both rewarded.
Includes a downloadable Cafeteria Activity & Award Guide (PDF) with the best-table award rules, five ways to use him, an eat the rainbow challenge, and a printable award card. It is built around the National School Lunch Program Offer versus Serve rule and the Smarter Lunchrooms Movement, so a foodservice director can justify it with wellness or nutrition-education funds.
