Carrots & Co is turnip-ing up the beet! Our play-based incursion program called The Travelling Fruit & Vegetable Show, is expanding and we’re looking for creative, engaging performers.
We’re all about making FRUIT and VEGETABLES fun and appealing for little ones, through play-based incursions in Early Learning Centres and Kindergartens. We aim to turn fresh produce into the stars of the show!

​

About the Program
The Travelling Fruit & Vegetable Show is a lively, interactive variety-show incursion, designed for 2–5 year olds. We use songs, movement and dance, games, drama and puppets to make fruit and vegetables as cool as a cucumber! Children get to meet different produce, pick up fun facts, and have a spud-tacular time playing with them – all in a super fun, engaging way that helps them naturally fall in love with fresh food. Our aim is to help children familiarise themselves with vegetables and fruit (without harping on about how healthy it is for you), to help increase their uptake and intake.

​

About the Role
You’ll pop into Early Learning Centres and Kindergartens (mostly mornings) and run fun, high-energy 45-minute sessions to groups of up to 24 children. You could have anywhere from 1 to 3 sessions in a day, depending on the centre. Each week, you’ll grab fresh fruit and veg from your local grocer (we'll provide you an allowance and the shopping list), deliver the show with our fruit and veg props. It’s fun and it’s all about bringing joy and healthy habits to the kids!

​

How to Apply
Send us your resume and a short cover letter, including your suburb, plus a quick video of yourself singing a children’s song or nursery rhyme and tell us your favourite vegetable and why. No need to be a pro-singer or Spielberg production levels – we’re looking for confidence, heaps of energy, and the ability to really light up and engage with the kids.

We can’t wait to meet our next fruity star performers who’ll make fruit and veg the heroes of every Early Learning Centre!
