Pick-Up Sticks: Little Bellies’ Award-Winning Range, Now Launching a Mini Size
Reading time:
Our Organic Pick-Up Sticks – the soft, hand-shaped snack designed to support safe self-feeding from the very first taste – have just been named Best Baby Food in the 2026 Bounty Baby Awards, taking home Gold as voted by real parents and Bounty’s expert panel. It’s a proud recognition for a range that’s been years in the making, and it comes just as we’ve launched our latest additions to the Pick-Up Sticks family – Mini Pick-Up Sticks.
What are Pick-Up Sticks?
Pick-Up Sticks are soft, melt-in-the-mouth, puffed organic corn sticks flavoured with real fruit or veg, shaped so little hands can hold them easily. That hand-held shape is what makes the range so well suited to early self-feeding, letting bubs safely explore texture and flavour with confidence from their very first stage of solids.
It’s this focus on age-and-stage appropriate design that’s just been recognised with Gold for Best Baby Food in the 2026 Bounty Baby Awards – an award chosen entirely by parent votes, alongside categories like nappies, car seats and prams. Being named Best Baby Food is a win we’re proud of, especially knowing it reflects real feedback from families who’ve had Pick-Up Sticks on hand at home, in the car and on the go.
What flavours are in the range?
Pick-Up Sticks spans seven flavours across two ages and stages:
7+ months
New to the range:
10+ months
Wondering which one to try first? If your little one is just starting out, the 7+ months flavours are a lovely place to begin, with the yoghurt and multigrain varieties a natural next step as babies get a bit more confident with texture and grasp.
What’s new from Pick-Up Sticks?
We’re excited to be introducing the newest addition to the range: Organic Mini Pick-Up Sticks, recently launched in Australia. These soft, melt-in-the-mouth minis are sized especially for little hands, with Organic Carrot Mini Pick-Up Sticks and Organic Raspberry Mini Pick-Up Sticks joining the lineup. Like the rest of the range, they’re ideal for first stage snacking and designed to encourage safe self-feeding.
Organic Mini Pick-Up Sticks are available in Woolworths from September, alongside our existing full product range.
Why parents love Pick-Up Sticks
Every baby moves through feeding at their own pace, and the right texture at the right time can make a real difference to how confident they feel with self-feeding. That’s the thinking behind the whole Pick-Up Sticks range: softer, simpler shapes for 7+ months, moving into slightly more varied textures and flavours from 10+ months, so parents always have an age-and-stage appropriate snack option on hand as their little one grows.
It’s this thinking, backed by real parent votes, that recently earned the range Best Baby Food in the 2026 Bounty Baby Awards. You can read the full product review, along with the rest of the category winners, over on Bounty’s Best Baby Food Australia guide.
