The Ella’s Kitchen vending machine was created specifically with toddlers in mind. The UK food company specializes in organic children’s food. In addition to making healthy food, Ella’s Kitchen is also environmentally conscious. All of its packaging is recycled through TeraCycle to make eco-friendly products.
The Ella’s Kitchen vending machine stands a hair under 4’0 feet (it’s 45 inches tall) and dispenses 12 different types of healthy snacks. The colorful vending machine features large, kid-friendly buttons. Ella’s Kitchen first showed off its vending machine back at Lollibop, a children’s festival in the UK, in August. It doesn’t appear that Ella’s Kitchen is planning on mass producing its vending machine anytime soon. If childhood obesity continues to increase, there could be an increased demand for vending machines designed to dispense healthy children’s snacks.
