Sprout Foods recently launched 'Eat & Sing with Sophie Sprout' as a new skill for Amazon Alexa that helps to make every mealtime for young ones a fun and exciting adventure.
With the Amazon Alexa skill, parents are caregivers are able to prompt the smart voice assistant to share songs and sounds that engage babies and toddlers during a feeding, without the distraction of a screen.
Eat & Sing with Sophie Sprout offers three different modes, all of which encourage "fun, food-centric edutainment" and healthy eating. While the 'Eat a Pouch with Sophie' mode is specifically tailored for an eating experience with one of Sprout's organic food pouches, the Mealtime Adventures use sound effects to build a story around food. With Songs, kids are able to learn about different fruits, vegetables and their colors.
