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.

I would love this tray for my 7th year old who is a picky eater. He doesn’t like any kind of vegetables except salad but plain with no other mixed vegetables. I think This tray would help him. He loves his fruits though like apples,grapes, watermelon and he loves boiled eggs. I’m from Marlborough Massachusetts .
This tray looks like so much fun and would help my picky 2 year old to eat more foods and enjoy it. I am currently trying to push more veggies during meals and this looks like a fun way to do it and have fun

I’m entering to win for my niece Peyton, she just turned 3 and has been a picky eater since day 1! Sometimes motivated by fruit snacks…her favorite foods at the moment are chicken nuggets and grilled cheese. She usually gets bored with foods VERY easily. Her mama has tried everything! Now that she’s a little older and can understand games this tray would be perfect!
