UPDATE: This Giveaway is now over! Winner announcement has been posted on my homepage. See more Giveaways being dropped on my blog here.
My son Ryan is kind of a picky eater (he takes after my husband, Mr FSF ). While my daughter Sophie isn’t a picky eater, she would start to mimic her brother’s behaviors (and verbal complaints), and before you know it, meal times can turn into a battle of wills. Me vs them. And it usually ends in tears.
Then last year I discovered these plates made by Fred & Friends called “Dinner Winner“. They are designed to encourage kids to finish their food. If you follow me on SnapChat, you may have seen me use these plates when preparing meals for my kids.
I LOVE these trays! They are so fun and colorful. Each tray is set up like a little board game, where you follow a “map” of food to a ” hidden treasure”. When you finish the trail of food, the last placement is a covered spot for a hidden treat. This is your “bait”. #Genius!
The first day I brought these plates out, they were an instant hit! And they really did motivate both my kiddos to finish their food, including things they didn’t like. I’ve since gotten these trays in pretty much every pattern . They really do make mealtime more fun, and can motivate and encourage picky eaters to finish their meals (and even try new things). I typically put a little piece of chocolate in the treat spot and that does the trick.
Anyway, it’s been a lot of fun preparing their meals and watching them use these trays. If you have a fussy eater, or you just want to add some fun into meal time, I recommend checking these plates out. They come in 5 different patterns.

My daughter would absolutely love these!!! She loves blueberries the most, but she loves food in general but it has been getting harder to keep her at her seat to eat a full meal, so these plates would be perfect!!
We are from Bourbon, Indiana
I would love to win this for my 6 year old son. He is the world’s PICKEST eater ever. Literally, he’s managed to survive off of Mac ‘N Cheese & Personal Pizzas. Hes so into games and winning all the time, he would probably eat anything i put on here just to get to the finish line to win and get a surprise. Thank you for hosting such an awesome giveaway!
I have a 3 yr old that is picky. If she could just eats snacks everyday she would. What’s funny is that when she wants some type of dessert, I can trick her into eating a few bites at a time. This tray would be perfect bc it would help her eat more portions rather than bites.
This would be for my 3yo daughter who went from eating everything I gave her to being a picky eater. She loves her starches and watermelon at the moment. Reading from Honolulu, Hawaii
This would be perfect for my 3 year old. She is such a stinker when it comes to eating. She does loves, waffles, blueberries, and yogurt.
I would love to win this one! My six year old son is a very picky eater, I can’t get him to eat his vegetables or taste anything new. This could be my solution. His favorite is chicken nuggets and mashed potatoes.
I would love to win this for my 3 year old. She loves Snacking on like 5 different things at once.. She loves chicken nuggets, baby carrots, noodles and fruits! I think this will be great for her to have all in one plate instead mixed all on one.
My son Grayson is a picky eater. He is sensitive to textures and this would be awesome! We try to give him a safe food and let him alternate during his bites. This plate would be awesome to try with him! Thanks!
I wanted to win this for my nephew who is turning 4 years old in a few weeks. He a very picky eater and this would be a great gift for him. He’s having a Dino party and what better gift then a Dino plate. Please pick me!!!!
These would be For my five-year-old son and my two-year-old son. While my 2 year old eats pretty well he is always watching is brothers behavior. My 5 year old is very picky and likes little bites. We do a lot of ice-cube trays with a bite or two in each slot. Having the small section showing a map or something would be lots of fun.
