MNHQ

1) How old are the DCs who took part in this test?
2 and 4

2) Do you find it a challenge to get your DCs to eat fruit and veg/get their five a day?
Not particularly. Both will eat lots of certain fruits and vegetables that are their favourites. My 2 year old will try pretty much any fruit, my 4 year old is better at trying new vegetables. So it varies.

3) What did your DCs think of BEAR Paws (taste, packaging, concept)? What did they like or dislike about them?
They both loved the packaging and so do I, it's really bold and bright and very well designed I think. They also enjoyed the chart (4 year old in particular loves any kind of chart/stickers etc). They loved the look of the paws and the footprints. I thought the paws were a little thin and fiddly to pick up, but I guess they're designed for little fingers.

As a concept I think they are good. Yes they have a lot of natural sugar in them, but I wouldn't be giving them to my DC every day, nor as a replacement for a piece of fruit or other less sugary snack. They would be one of a range of options. I still think natural sugars are preferable to giving DC actual sweets for example. I know a few mums who don't give raisins/dried fruit to their DC as they are "so bad for their teeth" and yet they do let them have sweets and drink squash, which makes no sense to me.

What I would think was even better was if Bear did a range of paws that are a mix of fruit/vegetable, so orange and carrot for example (no idea if those two flavours would mix but you get the idea). This would lower the sugar content and make them much more appealing to me, as on the whole my DCs are happier to eat fruit than vegetables so the latter is what I'm keener on working into their diet wherever I can.

My 2 year old loved the taste and happily wolfed down all the flavours, my 4 year old found them a bit too sweet. She did try one of each of the flavours but didn't want to eat any more. She's not keen on sticky/sweet things so that might be why. So I ate her share :-)

4) Do you think this snack was a suitable size for your child/ren? If so why, if not, why not?
A bag was too big for my 2 year old but would've been just right for my 4 year old (if she'd eaten them) so they're probably about right.

5) Would you buy BEAR Paws again?
Yes I would for DD2 (subject to the price being sensible, I'm not sure how much their rrp is). I wouldn't give them to my DC daily by any means, but they'd be handy to have in the cupboard for times when you need to grab a quick/non-messy snack to keep my handbag or to eat in the car. But only for DD2 as DD1 wasn't keen.

6) Would you recommend BEAR Paws to friends and family?
If it came up in conversation then yes I probably would.

1) How old are the DCs who took part in this test?

Dd is 3, nearly 4.

2) Do you find it a challenge to get your DCs to eat fruit and veg/get their five a day?

She will eat basically any fruit but getting vegetables past her is a challenge.

3) What did your DCs think of BEAR Paws (taste, packaging, concept)? What did they like or dislike about them?

She says 'I just really like them. That's it'!
She liked the dinosaur paws especially, but says the arctic one id her favourite flavour.
She loved the sticker chart, that was fantastic!
I really liked the bright packaging!

4) Do you think this snack was a suitable size for your child/ren? If so why, if not, why not?

Perfect size, yes.

5) Would you buy BEAR Paws again?

Absolutely.

6) Would you recommend BEAR Paws to friends and family?

Yes, definitely.

Here's what my kids thought....

BEAR would love to know:

1. How old are the DCs who took part in this test? Ds 7, dd 3

2. Do you find it a challenge to get your DCs to eat fruit and veg/get their five a day? Sometimes, although both won happily live on berries in the summer

3. What did your DCs think of BEAR Paws (taste, packaging, concept)? What did they like or dislike about them? Ds loves the characters and that it says 'no added nonsense', they couldn't think of anything they didn't like. They both enjoyed all the flavours they tried

4. Do you think this snack was a suitable size for your child/ren? If so why, if not, why not? It's a good 'handbag' snack. I like that the list of ingredients was actually much smaller than I had expected, and it's great that it's all natural ingredients

5. Would you buy BEAR Paws again? Probably, but they are quite expensive so it would be an occasional treat

6. Would you recommend BEAR Paws to friends and family? Yes, as I said previously, handy travel type snacks

1. How old are the DCs who took part in this test? 8 and 6
2. Do you find it a challenge to get your DCs to eat fruit and veg/get their five a day? No, they have always enjoyed fruit, veg and salad
3. What did your DCs think of BEAR Paws (taste, packaging, concept)? What did they like or dislike about them? Both boys really liked these. They were excited by the packaging and looking forward to actually eating them. Both like dinosaurs so particularly pleased with these ones.
4. Do you think this snack was a suitable size for your child/ren? If so why, if not, why not? Yes
5. Would you buy BEAR Paws again? Yes - as a treat rather than an everyday snack as prefer them to eat fresh veg as a snack as less sugar (even if it is natural)
6. Would you recommend BEAR Paws to friends and family? Yes

1) How old are the DCs who took part in this test? 4yo and 18mo

2) Do you find it a challenge to get your DCs to eat fruit and veg/get their five a day? They both eat loads of fruit. (Neither keen on veg unfortunately, although I keep trying)

3) What did your DCs think of BEAR Paws (taste, packaging, concept)? What did they like or dislike about them?4yo DD1 loved the packaging, and automatically knew they were snacks. Also loved the stickers. Both loved the snacks themselves, even the orange ones which I thought they might find a bit too sharp.

4) Do you think this snack was a suitable size for your child/ren? If so why, if not, why not? Packet too small for my two, I would usually give them an apple instead as it would fill them up better than these.

5) Would you buy BEAR Paws again? Price puts me off, although they would be handy when out and about. Cheaper to take a couple of apples or similar.

6) Would you recommend BEAR Paws to friends and family? Yes, but as a treat instead of sweeties. Too expensive an unsubstantial to be more than that.

1. How old are the DCs who took part in this test? 5,4 and 2

2. Do you find it a challenge to get your DCs to eat fruit and veg/get their five a day? not really, mine all enjoy most fruit and veg. I'm always on the hunt for a healthy snack though

3. What did your DCs think of BEAR Paws (taste, packaging, concept)? What did they like or dislike about them?

they are all animal crazy, so loved the packaging and squabbled over who got which animal. They loved the flavours and all 4 packets were gone within seconds

4. Do you think this snack was a suitable size for your child/ren? If so why, if not, why not? bit small for a stand alone snack, don't think they are very filling. Would be good as part of a packed lunch. Very tasty.

5. Would you buy BEAR Paws again? yes

6. Would you recommend BEAR Paws to friends and family? yes

1. How old are the DCs who took part in this test?
   Twin boys aged 3.6

2. Do you find it a challenge to get your DCs to eat fruit and veg/get their five a day?
   Yes because I'm not always certain what is constituted.

3. What did your DCs think of BEAR Paws (taste, packaging, concept)? What did they like or dislike about them?
   They loved the pictures on the packet and really enjoyed eating them. Dt1 said yum yum!

4. Do you think this snack was a suitable size for your child/ren? If so why, if not, why not?
   Yes it was an ideal size,easy to arrays fitted in my bag and not too filling.

5. Would you buy BEAR Paws again?
   Yes

6. Would you recommend BEAR Paws to friends and family?
   Yes

1) How old are the DCs who took part in this test?
2y and 5y

2) Do you find it a challenge to get your DCs to eat fruit and veg/get their five a day?
The 2yo no, she eats absolutely everything put in front of her. The 5yo yes she is more difficult and we rarely get her to eat much fruit although she does eat 5 portions of veg a day without as much trouble
3) What did your DCs think of BEAR Paws (taste, packaging, concept)? What did they like or dislike about them?
They liked them, in fact they adored them. They liked the shapes, lined them up and sorted them. They weren't able to open the packets on their own
4) Do you think this snack was a suitable size for your child/ren? If so why, if not, why not?
Yes for the 5yo possibly a little too much for the 2yo. They had a bag each and 2yo left a few, next time they happily shared a bag.
5) Would you buy BEAR Paws again?
Yes, probably. They can't have dairy so it's nice to have items which I can keep in my bag which are healthy
6) Would you recommend BEAR Paws to friends and family?
Yes

BEAR would love to know:

1. How old are the DCs who took part in this test? 4,6,9 and 9
2. Do you find it a challenge to get your DCs to eat fruit and veg/get their five a day?* I find my children all have different favourites, so trying to make something where they'll eat every vegetable is difficult. My two younger children love fruit and my older two don't eat any.*
3. What did your DCs think of BEAR Paws (taste, packaging, concept)? What did they like or dislike about them?* They were really excited opening the box. They liked that the packaging was easy to open.*
4. Do you think this snack was a suitable size for your child/ren? If so why, if not, why not?* It was a suitable size, it wasn't so large it would stop them eating a meal, but big enough to keep them happy.*
5. Would you buy BEAR Paws again?* Yes, although would have to alternate with the other type as the like the cards (which end up in the bin).*
6. Would you recommend BEAR Paws to friends and family?* *Most definitely, and my children agree they are not just a preschool snack.

1. How old are the DCs who took part in this test?

4 and 6

2. Do you find it a challenge to get your DCs to eat fruit and veg/get their five a day?

No problem getting fruit and veg into my 6 year old. A massive challenge for my 4 year old.

3. What did your DCs think of BEAR Paws (taste, packaging, concept)? What did they like or dislike about them?

They both loved the packaging and were happy to give them a go. They didn't really like the taste. I also had a secret test and once I'd got over the initial texture, I loved them!

4. Do you think this snack was a suitable size for your child/ren? If so why, if not, why not?

Perfect size and so handy to carry around

5. Would you buy BEAR Paws again?

I will try them again in a few months as it would be so handy if my 4 year old in particular would eat them.

6. Would you recommend BEAR Paws to friends and family?

Yes.

1. How old are the DCs who took part in this test?
   3 nearly 4 years old

2. Do you find it a challenge to get your DCs to eat fruit and veg/get their five a day?
   YES! DS is incredibly fussy and won't willingly eat any fruit or veg, although I manage to sneak lots of veggies into his pasta sauces etc.

3. What did your DCs think of BEAR Paws (taste, packaging, concept)? What did they like or dislike about them?

He was very excited when he saw the box of goodies, especially the stickers. He loved the packaging, especially the animal pictures and wanted to know the name of each animal character. He has tried 3 packets so far and said they were yummy.

4. Do you think this snack was a suitable size for your child/ren? If so why, if not, why not?

Perfect size for a snack/treat

5. Would you buy BEAR Paws again?

Yes definitely, love the fact they are one of his 5 a day

6. Would you recommend BEAR Paws to friends and family?

Yes, have already recommended them to friends

1. The DCs testing the product were 4 1/2 and 2 1/2 years old.
2. I find it more of a challenge getting my 2 1/2 year old to eat fruit and veg as we are currently in a v fussy eating phase. My 4 1/2 year old loves raw carrot and fruit and often requests these as snacks over biscuits.
3. Both DCs love the packaging - especially the brightly coloured animals. My older child was more suspicious of the colour of the paws - describing them as 'yucky'. The toddler wasn't at all bothered and thought they looked like squashed raisins! Of the two the toddler loved the taste and referred to them as his 'sweets'. My older child was fussier and only liked the strawberry flavour but I think this was influenced by her dislike of the appearance of other flavours. I liked the flavour and thought it was very clever that they are made entirely out of fruit. I also liked the paws shape and preferred the individual pieces to the other BEAR fruits snacks. Being able to easily open the packaging was a real winner for me and the small pack size makes then handy to carry in a handbag.
4. The snack was a great size for children - the smaller pieces made the snack last longer for my toddler who ate each paw individually.
5. Yes I would definitely buy these again - specifically for my fussy toddler as he was a big fan and I was pleased to get some of his five a day into him without a battle!
6. Yes I would recommend BEAR Paws to friends and family.

1. How old are the DCs who took part in this test? 5yo and 2.5yo

2. Do you find it a challenge to get your DCs to eat fruit and veg/get their five a day? I'm lucky that they both love fruit and aren't bad with veg. Always good to find a new snack to try though.

3. What did your DCs think of BEAR Paws (taste, packaging, concept)? What did they like or dislike about them? They both liked the bright packets and animals, and enjoyed the taste.

4. Do you think this snack was a suitable size for your child/ren? If so why, if not, why not? Yes. I gave my daughters a packet to share between them, but I'd be happy for them to have a whole pack each.

5. Would you buy BEAR Paws again? Yes, probably. Handy to have in my bag when needed.

6. Would you recommend BEAR Paws to friends and family? Yes I would.

1. How old are the DCs who took part in this test?
   7 and 3 (me and ds who is 12 also sneaked a few :D)

2. Do you find it a challenge to get your DCs to eat fruit and veg/get their five a day?
   Not usually... they're pretty fond of fruit, and they will all eat raw veg as a snack for which I'm grateful (well, I do take some credit for this, as it took effort to stick with it when they moaned, and also takes effort to prepare the veg each day!). They're all pretty happy to eat beans or chickpeas, too. My youngest is fussy about loads of things, but he will eat his favourite fruits and veggies, so we stick to offering him those to get the 5 a day in.

3. What did your DCs think of BEAR Paws (taste, packaging, concept)? What did they like or dislike about them?
   They were very excited about testing them and regarded it as a treat. They recognised the Bear paw on the parcel and wanted to open it straight away. They like the sweetness and the gummy texture. We're vegetarian so we don't often eat this kind of sweet because many contain gelatine. They said they were yummy although there was one colour of them which was not so popular - think it was the blueberry ones. They still ate them though!

4. Do you think this snack was a suitable size for your child/ren? If so why, if not, why not? Yes, not as an every day snack, but as an occasional treat. I find them good for car journeys when people are getting fretful as they take a little while to eat. Packaging size also means that they are easy to slip into pocket of a handbag for emergency treat when out and about.

5. Would you buy BEAR Paws again? Yes, I like having a treat to give to my kids which is less full of junk than your average food aimed at children. I find the fact they're one of your 5 a day fairly laughable though - they're so processed, I find it very hard to believe they have any health benefits.

6. Would you recommend BEAR Paws to friends and family? I wouldn't go out of my way to mention them, but if the topic came up, I'd happily recommend them as a less additive-laden choice.

Thanks for letting us test the product! We enjoyed it!

1. How old are the DCs who took part in this test?

Age 2.

2. Do you find it a challenge to get your DCs to eat fruit and veg/get their five a day?

It was a challenge to get DD to eat anything at all for the first 18 months of her life! She is getting there now and fruit is top of her list, she loves berries and soft fruits. If tomatoes count as veg then she eats them fine, no other veg really.

3. What did your DCs think of BEAR Paws (taste, packaging, concept)? What did they like or dislike about them?

DD loved opening the box, it was like Christmas for her! The animal pictures on the packets went down well, she chose the lion one to open first. She emptied them all out onto her little table and set up a picnic with her teddies to share them.

4. Do you think this snack was a suitable size for your child/ren? If so why, if not, why not?

DD didn't finish the packet all at once, but I think it was about right -better too many than not enough!

5. Would you buy BEAR Paws again?

Yes, for a treat. I'd rather she ate fresh fruit but on occasion fresh isn't practical so these would be good. I'd be happier if they were a mix of fruit and veg rather than pure fruit as they are very sweet. I wouldn't give them every day as I think sticky things are bad for teeth.

6. Would you recommend BEAR Paws to friends and family?

Yes, we took a packet to DD's grandparents as they look after her often.

Thank you for choosing me to test Bear Paws!

1. How old are the DCs who took part in this test?
   I have 3 children - 2.5, 4 and 7 - and they all tried them

2. Do you find it a challenge to get your DCs to eat fruit and veg/get their five a day?
   No, they will eat most fruit, and a reasonable variety of vegetables. Sometimes they don't get 5 a day if I don't cook or provide it, but provided I plan meals sensibly they will easily get 5.

3. What did your DCs think of BEAR Paws (taste, packaging, concept)? What did they like or dislike about them?
   They really like them. They have had BEAR products before as treats, and I see these the same way. They are definitely seen as an occasional treat in this house though, and so they see them as the equivalent of being allowed a bag of sweets. I'm not actually sure that any of them have realised they're supposed to be paws, but my youngest in particular really likes the packets and the different animals.

4. Do you think this snack was a suitable size for your child/ren? If so why, if not, why not?
   I would always try and divide a packet between my youngest children - I think there is too much sugar in them to give them a whole bag each more than very occasionally.

5. Would you buy BEAR Paws again?
   I do occasionally buy this kind of snack, but I don't agree with the 'healthy' claims due to the very high sugar content, and I would never consider it to be one of their '5 a day' for that reason. I really want to like BEAR as a company, and I think the packaging is very appealing and makes the product look 'healthy', but I do think some of the claims are misleading, and I absolutely HATE the use of agave syrup in products. I would rather have sugar labelled as sugar, so at least people know what they're getting, or better still...no sugar! Why not make a decent breakfast cereal, which is fun and made for kids, without any sweeteners - why is this so impossible?? We have a choice of oats, shredded wheat or raisin wheats for breakfast here as I am unable to find another cereal which has no sugar added - you could definietly help fill this market if you took out the horrible added sugars from your breakfast cereal!
   But I would, and do, buy BEAR products as I would rather they had something which has some fruit in it than other gummy sweets which have never seen a fruit, even if they have a comparable sugar content.

6. Would you recommend BEAR Paws to friends and family?
   With caveats - as above!

Thank you for choosing us to try these, and please please consider making your breakfast cereal without the horrible sweeteners!

1. How old are the DCs who took part in this test? DS - 5 & DD - 3
2. Do you find it a challenge to get your DCs to eat fruit and veg/get their five a day? They love fruit and would eat it all day if they could - expensive habit! Vegetables are much more difficult to get down them.
3. What did your DCs think of BEAR Paws (taste, packaging, concept)? What did they like or dislike about them? They loved them! I gave them as 'sharing' treats when we were out and about. The kids were really excited each time they were given a pack. They enjoyed checking what kind of paws they had on the packets.
4. Do you think this snack was a suitable size for your child/ren? If so why, if not, why not? perfect size for two to share but they would happily eat a whole pack each. The packet was a good size to share between all 3 DC, I wouldn't give a packet that size to just 1 DC.
5. Would you buy BEAR Paws again? Yes, depending on price.
6. Would you recommend BEAR Paws to friends and family? Yes, the kids liked them and the paw matching element meant they lasted slightly longer.

1) How old are the DCs who took part in this test?
3 and 6

2) Do you find it a challenge to get your DCs to eat fruit and veg/get their five a day?
Sometimes. Most days they have possibly 3-4 but other days we manage 7. These really did sneak the fruit past them

3) What did your DCs think of BEAR Paws (taste, packaging, concept)? What did they like or dislike about them?
The 3yo really liked the pink dinosaur. The 6yo loved the Orange lion packets, they caught their eye.

4) Do you think this snack was a suitable size for your child/ren? If so why, if not, why not?
Definitely, any bigger and they would have still devoured it only to then refuse supper, any smaller and they would probably have started the "I'm hungry" whines early.

5) Would you buy BEAR Paws again?
We went out and my two choose the two boxes they enjoyed the most a couple days afterwards. So yes

6) Would you recommend BEAR Paws to friends and family?
Definately. In fact, my youngest a good friend tried one of our new packs and has apparently been hoovering them up since

Thank you for including us. Plus the children loved the special box plus the stickers. Big bonus points from them!

1. How old are the DCs who took part in this test? 7 and 3
2. Do you find it a challenge to get your DCs to eat fruit and veg/get their five a day? Yes its the same boring apples and bananas always!
3. What did your DCs think of BEAR Paws (taste, packaging, concept)? What did they like or dislike about them? Handy for travel. Nice packaging. Bright and inviting. Children looked at it and choose colours over favours though!
4. Do you think this snack was a suitable size for your child/ren? If so why, if not, why not? Yes generous sizes meant I could dish out one between two if necessary.
5. Would you buy BEAR Paws again? Depending on price yes. However may be too baby ish for my 7 yr olds packed lunch
6. Would you recommend BEAR Paws to friends and family? If asked/ discussion around snacks yes. I'm not desperate to rave about it otherwise though.

1. How old are the DCs who took part in this test?

4
2) Do you find it a challenge to get your DCs to eat fruit and veg/get their five a day?

My children like most vegetables but will only really eat apples, so ways to get fruit in in them are appreciated!

3. What did your DCs think of BEAR Paws (taste, packaging, concept)? What did they like or dislike about them?

She liked the packaging and the characters she liked that it was a healthy snack and wolfed them down!

4. Do you think this snack was a suitable size for your child/ren? If so why, if not, why not?

It was a great size for a little snack.

5. Would you buy BEAR Paws again? Yes
6. Would you recommend BEAR Paws to friends and family? Yes

1. How old are the DCs who took part in this test? My boys are 6 and 3.
2. Do you find it a challenge to get your DCs to eat fruit and veg/get their five a day? Both boys enjoy fruit but veg is always tricky!
3. What did your DCs think of BEAR Paws (taste, packaging, concept)? What did they like or dislike about them? Really enjoyed the taste of all 4 flavours, packaging is appealling particularly the dinosaur and they both like sorting out the shapes!
4. Do you think this snack was a suitable size for your child/ren? If so why, if not, why not? We took the samples out with us for the day and they are a great size to pop in a bag or pocket.
5. Would you buy BEAR Paws again? Yes, both boys wanted them again.
6. Would you recommend BEAR Paws to friends and family? Yes because the are convenient and the boys said they were very tasty!

1. How old are the DCs who took part in this test?

2, 5 and 8.

2. Do you find it a challenge to get your DCs to eat fruit and veg/get their five a day?
   No, they love fruit and salad veg and most vegetables. They also love dried fruit snacks like bear yoyos so were keen to try bear paws.

3. What did your DCs think of BEAR Paws (taste, packaging, concept)? What did they like or dislike about them?
   They really liked the taste and packaging although the 2 year old couldn't eat many of them so would have to share a pack. The older two prefer bear yoyos but I think that is partly because they like collecting the cards.

4. Do you think this snack was a suitable size for your child/ren? If so why, if not, why not?
   It was too big a pack for the 2 year old, they would probably share although the 8 year old would happily eat them all.

5. Would you buy BEAR Paws again?
   Yes, if the children chose them as a treat. My oldest two prefer bear yoyos and would choose those if given the choice. I think bear paws were better for the 2 year old but the pack is a bit large.

6. Would you recommend BEAR Paws to friends and family?
   Yes, as a portable snack.

1. How old are the DCs who took part in this test?

2 & 4

2. Do you find it a challenge to get your DCs to eat fruit and veg/get their five a day?

My DCs both love a variety of fruit and veg so I don't find it difficult to get them to eat them at all although I don't think we always manage our 5 a day!

3. What did your DCs think of BEAR Paws (taste, packaging, concept)? What did they like or dislike about them?

My DCs both loved the packaging design and liked picking out which anormal character they would both have. There was a bit of rivalry over the dinosaur! They both wolfed them down and asked for them again so they definitely enjoyed the taste. I don't think there is anything they didn't like.

4. Do you think this snack was a suitable size for your child/ren? If so why, if not, why not?

Yes the portion size was just right for a snack.

5. Would you buy BEAR Paws again?

I actually wouldn't buy these again because although the children loved them, I tried them too and didn't like the way they stuck in my teeth - I would be really concerned about decay caused by the fruit sugars so I wouldn't opt to give these to my DC over "real" fruit as an apple or strawberry wouldn't stick to the teeth in the same way so in my opinion, would be less of a decay risk.

6. Would you recommend BEAR Paws to friends and family?

Yes as an occasional snack/ treat they are quite sweet-like and I would prefer to give these to my children over actual sweets but wouldn't choose them as an alternative to fruit. So as they were a hit with my DCs I would recommend them on that basis!

1. How old are the DCs who took part in this test?
   2 years, 10 months.

2. Do you find it a challenge to get your DCs to eat fruit and veg/get their five a day?
   Yes, definitely. I don't think he gets anywhere near 5 a day so I was hoping the BEAR paws might help with that.

3. What did your DCs think of BEAR Paws (taste, packaging, concept)? What did they like or dislike about them?
   Well, he liked the packaging and the stickers but I'm afraid he did not like the product at all. He did try them but he didn't like the texture or the taste. Not even the prospect of a sticker was enough to tempt him to try a second of the same flavour and he loves stickers. He was quite keen to offer them to other people though!

4. Do you think this snack was a suitable size for your child/ren? If so why, if not, why not?
   I do think it's a suitable size, you can always save some for another time if it's too much in one go.

5. Would you buy BEAR Paws again?
   Yes, when my youngest is old enough to eat them, as she eats everything and they will be a good on-the-go snack for her.

6. Would you recommend BEAR Paws to friends and family?
   Yes I would because there was nothing wrong with the product (tried them myself), it's just that my child is ridiculously fussy with food so him not liking them is not a reflection on the product.
