Our Program

Our mission is to entertain, educate, and inspire you to Grow Your Giggle™ with Vivi LeDish!™

This site provides interactive tools designed to give children a daily, digestible dose of kitchen and wellness education (served with a side of giggle)! It takes just a few moments to get through each day's online program. We want kids to make a quick stop every day and get back out and play!™

Vivi LeDish provides parents, caregivers, and teachers of 3-8 year old children with a simple, yet comprehensive approach designed to:

  • Inspire families to get in the kitchen with a catalogue of recipes featuring five ingredients or less
  • Introduce children to foods in a way the whole family can enjoy
  • Educate and reward children for healthy choices
  • Make growing up more fun---for kids and their parents

Grow Your Giggle™ with an approach created to establish healthy habits and warm memories that will last a lifetime.

Key features of our program include:

Giggle Grower

Never Grow a Day without a Giggle!™

The Giggle Grower is a tool that allows kids to log daily progress meeting minimum requirements for activity, fruits, vegetables, calcium, protein, grains, water (sky juice), and giggles (to feed their funny bone!).

Due to COPPA laws protecting children's privacy, parents must set up accounts for themselves and their child(ren) to access the Giggle Grower and other personalized account features in order to store children's progress on activities.

Fridays with Vivi

Fridays with Vivi LeDish™ is a family ritual that encourages kids to try new foods! A cleverly disguised, digestible dose of kitchen and wellness education served with a side of Friday Jam (kid-tested to guarantee it will put the giddy up in your get down).

A weekly e-newsletter announces the featured Food of the Week along with a child-friendly recipe, fun facts, and coloring page about the food. Account holders can even download a certificate designed to celebrate and reward the child(ren) for trying the featured food! Click here to view a sample newsletter!

Meet Vivi LeDish

Food of the Week

A new food is featured each week to educate and encourage kids to try new foods.

When kids click on the Food of the Week, it takes them into Vivi's Pantry where they can learn about the food and check for recipes featuring the food!

Users have the option to sign-up for an account where they can save the featured food into their very own pantry and access a coloring page featuring that food in "My Stuff".

Vivi's Cookbook

A catalog of child-friendly recipes featuring five ingredients or less, requires little to no cooking, age-appropriate portions sizes, and teaches kids moderation by distinguishing between "sometimes" and "anytime" foods. Each recipe has a whimsical title designed to make a child feel like a true culinary connoisseur.

Recipes are presented in a unique, child-friendly format intended to make shopping and preparation as painless as possible!

Kiss your notion of "kid food" goodbye. Step away from the 14-step diagrams designed to disguise dinner and cater to a child's strongest asset-their imagination! With a little creativity and a positive attitude, you'll be surprised how kids react to fruits and veggies!

Users have the option to sign-up for an account where they can save the featured recipe to their very own cookbook in "My Stuff".

Vivi's Pantry

Learn your way around the kitchen with this illustrated, interactive library of foods and kitchen tools & terms.

My Stuff

For Kids: Parents can set up accounts for each child where they can access the Giggle Grower, create their own cookbook and pantry, track their daily activities, answers to daily questions, and access exclusive educational coloring pages, activities, and upcoming games! Once signed in, access the page via the "My Stuff" icon on the left navigation bar. NOTE: Due to COPPA laws protecting children's privacy, parents must set up accounts for themselves and their child(ren) to access the Giggle Grower and other personalized account features in order to store children's progress on activities.

For Parents: Setting up a parent account allows you to create child accounts, manage child accounts (change password/delete accounts), and oversee each child's activities. Parent accounts are automatically subscribed to a weekly "Fridays with Vivi" newsletter that has FREE recipes, activities to enjoy with your child, and the news on latest promotions and features on ViviLeDish.com (you can choose to opt out when logged in as a parent via your My Stuff page).

Accounts are designed to accommodate families with multiple children and allow parents to view their children's activities.

Timer

A timer periodically reminds users they have been on the site for 20 minutes-more than enough time to go through each day's program and play around a bit. It won't sign you out, it's just a reminder designed to help families keep track of screen time. It also serves as a timekeeper for families with more children than computers!

The timer reads, "Make a quick stop every day, then get back out and play!™"

Mama LeDish Blog

A companion website for parents designed to address the reality we face today; an information superhighway full of conflicting opinions and research on parenting and wellness issues. This blog is not written by experts who claim to have the answers - but by real moms performing the balancing act everyday trying to sort through these issues with our audience. (P.S. We never outgrow the need to have a giggle, so we try to serve one up whenever possible).
