Over here meal time is fun because we love food.
It’s also fun because it’s a special time to spend together as a family. Recently I was sent an adorable Crunch a Color Conversation Starters card deck ~ a simple + fun way to invite conversation and giggles to your dinner table.
After all, family meal time should be relaxed, delicious and full of lively conversation. This will help get you there.
A few things about Crunch a Color:
- Winner of Dr. Toy’s Best 100 Toys and Top 10 Socially Responsible Toys of 2012
- Created by kids for kids, with the help of teachers and parents, to spark interesting, open-ended discussions at the dinner table.
- Can also be used for journal writing, class discussions, etc.
- A portion of each purchase supports non-profit children’s nutrition programs
I am thrilled to have 5 decks to share with 5 lucky winners. You can also purchase your now in time for Thanksgiving and the holidays at my Amazon.com store.

I love having guests over for lunch or dinner. Hearing different stories and talking with them is so much fun!
looks like a good game!
what makes mealtime more fun – when someone else cooks haha. my family enjoying the food I made.
I am with you Jen!
Meal time is fun when there is good food and.good conversation….and when my 2year old doesnt fight against eating.
Jenny, the kiddo fight can be quite the struggle ~ some meals are better than others!
Meal time is more fun for me when my daughter wants to help! We have fun making a big mess
That is sweet Kesha!
Just all of us being together and talking about our day..
That is special for us too Tina!
Meal time is more fun when shared with company!
What makes mealtime fun for me is when my boys help me in prepare the meal. Oh what a mess, but oh what a good time.
Kim, having the kids cook with you is definitely one of the best things we can do as parents. Teaches them essential skills and they learn to love all kinds of food.
Just having our kids around! My 2 year old is such a character and his stories are so funny!
This is such a fantastic game! It seems like it really gets the kiddos thinking.
I encourage family conversation around the dinner table
Mealtime is fun when the kids help make it…lotsa laughs in the kitchen and they get so excited to present and eat their creations! 🙂
Meal time is fun when all the kids and grandchildren are with us!
What a great game to share with the grand kids !
I think I will order one. Love to hear about this kind of stuff! Thanks! xxoo
Andrea, your guys would love this game! I know how important family meal time is to you 🙂
what makes meal time fun? Eating with friends and making sure there’s a bottle of wine involved. 🙂 With the kids, when we talk about our day and play “mad, sad, glad.” 🙂
Sounds like some FUN & festive dinners Alice 🙂
I enjoy having friends over to share our meals.
We have a family ritual of going round the table and telling each other what the highlights and lowlights or our day were – it’s a great way to stay connected.
That is a great way to stay connected Millie ~ especially after long + busy days 🙂
We often have a crossword going that we all contribute to – it gives us something to talk about and we always end up learning something new too – which is a bonus!
Great idea Kath!
We put music on and play a game where we have to guess the song and the artist – the winner doesn’t have to do the dishes!
Most of the time just sharing the stories from our days at school/work provides enough hilarity. But if stories aren’t forthcoming we chat about what we might do on “family day” (Sunday) – that always get’s everyone smiling 🙂
Eddie, the Family Day sounds like a great ice breaker!
Family dinners are the best!
Sounds like fun but don’t add me to the list as I live too far away and the postage is high 🙁 Have a good week Diane
Thanks for stopping by anyway Diane 🙂
looks like a good game!
I love the way kids think and the things they say. These cards look like so much fun! Thanks for the chance to win.
I love that some of the proceeds help to support nutrition programs!
Love this idea!
I love hearing about my families’ day. It gives us a chance to check in with one another.
Chopsticks make meal time more fun for my husband and I!
Meal times are a lot more fun when they are interactive or when everyone in the family gets a chance to participate/personalize their plates! If I make a core family dish, I put out a little tray with different condiments that everyone can use to make their dinner unique! Or I chose meals, like tacos, where everyone gets to top their own. 🙂
This sounds very interesting. I’m always looking for new ways to spark up the conversation at the dinner table!
My granddaughters would really enjoy this!
Meal time is always more fun for me when I am sitting at a table with other people! Many of my meals are spent alone because of different schedules, so I love to be able to sit and talk with others 🙂
Dinner is fun when my husband compliments the food and my son eats his whole plate 🙂 When we want to celebrate something we do cheers not only with glasses but with a tiny bite of food…meaning that he and I would make the piece of bread high five each other..if that makes any sense..hahaha. it does not get messy and I think it’s cute 😛
What a wonderful idea! We would love to use these at mealtimes! Thanks!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this!!!!
