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 for my 4 year old. I always feel like it’s hard to get her to eat her veggies. She loves carrots but I cant make the girl eat carrots with everything… or can I? This tray will help to incorporate a fun treat at the end and possibly allow her to try new veggies. I so excited!

i would love this for my 4 year old! it would encourage him to try some new things!
Omg. I so need this for my 7 year old. Sheâs been a picky eater since day one. Her doctor has even had us see a nutritionist and try certain things to help her. Good like yâall. I hope Iâm a lucky one of 5.
Hi! Iâm from Long Island NY. I have two crazy little boys under 2 who would love these plates!! Itâs always a struggle getting them to finish dinner before sneaking into the snack or freezer drawer for some treats! My boys went from eating anything and everything to only eating pancakes, bananas and muffins…… These plates would save me at least one battle of the day with them
It’s so cute! My son is so picky, I have tried it all. But. Maybe this would work! I love it! Love the little prize at end! đ
Omg! My son is 5 yo old and he is very picky when it comes to eating. I have to actually make things into figures to get him motivated to eat. His favorite food are chicken nuggets and barbacoa tacos.
This would be fun for my son….heâs a very picky eater….it would be a great way to get him to eat more!
Hey Tina
I would love to win this tray for my 3 year old daughter because she is a picky eater. It would probably help her eat veggies more. She dont eat anything that is green. She has improve on trying ham sandwiches. She would not take one bite out of a sandwich if it had ham. I really want my daughter to eat more vegetables and not being so picky. I would put gummies, chocolate, money in her treat as a reward. She can put money in her piggy bank to save so when she goes to the store she can get something that she wants. Thank you for the videos you post every Monday. When she see me watching your videos she says “Hey Tina” Haha ⤠she already know your name.

My son is a really picky eater so much in fact he has to have different silverware for each serving. This plate is awesome and he would love it!
My niece Bethany is a picky eater, especially meats. She knows she has to have at least one bite, but it has gotten a little better since I have let her “help” me cook. You have to try what you cook to make sure it is good!
