Behind the scenes with Mattel Barbie and Sinchies

Behind the Scenes: Our Barbie & Hot Wheels Sinchies Photoshoot

We’ve been bursting to share this one with you! Sinchies has teamed up with Mattel to launch our most playful reusable pouch collection yet - featuring Barbie and Hot Wheels designs.

From smoothie-loving mermaids to speed-loving snackers, these pouches are made to brighten lunchboxes while reducing waste. And what better way to show them off than with a fun-filled photoshoot with real kids, real snacks, and a whole lot of YOGHURT?

Come along for a peek behind the scenes …

Setting the Scene

The shoot took place in a beautiful kitchen space in Upper Coomera and the brand-new Calli Estate playground.

We wanted two looks:

  1. Cosy kitchen moments - parents prepping snacks, filling pouches, and packing lunchboxes.

  2. Playground fun - kids swinging, running, laughing, and enjoying their snacks on a picnic rug in the sunshine.

The vibe? Fun, playful, vibrant, practical, kid-approved, and eco-friendly — everything Sinchies stands for.

Meet the Dream Team

  • Photographer: Vanessa from Raspberry Creative - our magician behind the lens.

  • Social Media & Content: Hope from Meraki Socials - capturing behind-the-scenes reels, TikToks, and those snack-time giggles.

  • Food Styling & Modelling: The multi-talented Anika — keeping yoghurts full and lunch boxes healthy, colourful, and camera-ready.

Our beautiful models:
Kenzie, Bohdi, Billie, Liza, Dylan, Harvey, Matty and Troy - yes all family and friends!

The Props & Styling

We styled everything to let the pouches shine - literally.

  • Wardrobe: Bright, tonal outfits with no branding. Barbie kids in pinks and purples, Hot Wheels kids in bold blues, whites, and blacks.

  • Props: Colourful lunch boxes and water bottles straight from the warehouse (BPA-free, of course), a beautiful basket and trolley, skateboards, scooters, sunnies and MORE.

  • Food: 4kgs of yoghurt, fruit, sandwiches, muffins and snacks, snacks, snacks - all the colours and textures that make Sinchies pop on camera.

The Shoot Highlights

  • Barbie Core & Fantasy - Think sparkles, giggles, and yoghurt moustaches.

  • Hot Wheels Core - High-energy shots of boys zooming pouches into lunchboxes, racing between takes.

  • Hero Shots - All the kids together, holding up their pouches like trophies.

Our favourite moment? Too many to list but LOVED when Dylan's Dad Dan ended up in the shoot as a model!

Why We’re Excited

This shoot wasn’t just about cute pictures (although there are plenty of those). It’s about showing how Sinchies reusable pouches can fit seamlessly into busy family life - all while reducing single-use plastics and making snack time more fun.

Whether your child dreams of the racetrack or a magical mermaid castle, there’s now a Sinchies pouch to match their lunchbox personality.

Keep an eye on our socials and website - the official launch is coming soon, and we can’t wait for you to meet the full Barbie & Hot Wheels Sinchies Collection!
