Hey everyone! I see a lot of new faces here so I thought it was time to do an introductory post.
So hi! My name is Pooja and Iโve founded Mini Muni with my sister Stuti.
๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ
I have a 3.5 yo daughter and when we first started our weaning journey with my daughter, we used a colorful array of plastic dinnerware and silicone cutlery. I even carried along my brightly colored plastic plates when I first took my daughter to visit India.
When we came back from India, my mom stashed a couple of small stainless steel plates that had been used in our home over generations. Use them just in case, she said.
๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ
Over time, our plastic dinnerware had scratches on them, some even bent in the dishwasher and our silicone spoons tasted like dishwashing soap. Desperate for options, I pulled out the steel plates my mom had given me and I watched over weeks as they didnโt stain, bend or smell. Some more reading on the subject opened my eyes on how many toxic chemicals we and our kids were ingesting even with โBPA-freeโ plastics.
As an Indian, I had grown up eating in stainless steel all my life, and I realized it was time to go back to our roots, where all the things we used were clean & non-toxic for ourselves as well as for Mother Earth.
๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ
This is how Mini Muni was born, with the goal of bringing clean, long-lasting and non-toxic products for your kids.
โTeach them youngโ, they say, and what better way to teach our kids to care of themselves and of our lovely planet than to teach by example and habit!

Itโs !
"Plastic Free July is a global movement that helps millions of people be part of the solution to plastic pollution โ so we can have cleaner streets, oceans, and beautiful communities."
Every little step counts, and we can take this as a personal challenge to choose one single-use plastic to avoid.
We, at Mini Muni, have decided to bring our own / use reusable cutlery for all the times we eat outdoors.
Are you ready to join us for the plastic-free challenge - what is the one change you would make?

Today marks the official start of summer holidays for us, and the little person being at home means requests for snacks all day! Or, maybe not! How, you ask?
We love the amazing tip for snack platters from Vaishali at .co She recommends making healthy snack platters and leaving them on your dining table for the family to pick munchables whenever hungry! This works great and I promise you will go a few hours without hearing โsnack pleaseโ!
Mini Muni plates double up as the perfect shared snack platters. The divided sections allow you to fill a variety of snacks; plus you can simply put the plate in the dishwasher post-snack!

Teaching kids about seasonal foods is a great way for them to learn how different fruits and vegetables are ready to eat at different times of the year.
Show your kids some of these May seasonal fruits and ask them to select one or two they would like to choose in the next grocery haul. It will give them a sense of confidence and also make them more open to trying out new foods!
Which one is your favorite May produce?
