# Vegetable Stacking Games This DIYJenga-Inspired Game Concludes with a Healthy Snack By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-01-17 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stacking-game References: [handmadecharlotte](http://www.handmadecharlotte.com/diy-vegetable-jenga/) & [handmadecharlotte](http://www.handmadecharlotte.com/) This DIY vegetable stacking game devised by the Handmade Charlotte blog offers a [fun Jenga alternative](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-vs-burrito) that's more affordable—and edible too. Using vegetables that are naturally long like carrots and radishes, all you'd need to do is cut up a few veggies into rectangular shapes to make this game at home. Unlike the perfect smoothness of a Jenga block, DIY vegetable game offers more of a challenge from the irregularity of the vegetables. The best part about the game is that after it's been prepared and played with, the vegetable sticks can be eaten as a snack, leaving no waste behind. For more of a challenge, you could even try with smaller vegetable sticks and experiment with which veggies build the best towers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **DIY Food Games:** Creating do-it-yourself games with food creates a unique and sustainable experience for consumers. - **Food Waste Reduction:** Innovative solutions to reduce food waste can increase sustainability and profitability in the food industry. - **Edible Entertainment:** Combining entertainment with food can create a memorable and engaging experience for customers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can benefit from incorporating edible entertainment into their products and services. - **Recreation and Entertainment:** Recreation and entertainment industries can incorporate DIY food games as a new source of recreational activities. - **Sustainability:** Reducing food waste through creative solutions can benefit environmentally sustainable industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Food-Inspired Children’s Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noodle-knockout-fine-motor-game.md) - [Blockish Oversized Stacking Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tetris-tumble-xl.md) - [Luxury Block Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bottega-veneta-jenga.md) - [Engaging 3D Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foros-game.md) - [Memory Challenging Food Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/match-up-memory-game-snack-pack.md) - [Recycled Rice Husk Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-toy-game.md) - [Vegetable Power-Up Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modtheveg.md) - [Buildable Game Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-lego-connect-4.md) - [Card-Matching Foodie Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/themed-card-game.md)
