I have a 1-year-old and a 2.5-year-old. Suffice to say, meal time in my house is always a treat, and a messy one at that. While my little one is still confined to her high-chair, my toddler insists on sitting in a "big-girl chair" and eating with regular utensils and plates. Don't get me wrong, this is a good thing, as a matter of fact, I encourage it. But once the eating is done and the milk is gone, I'm left with two happy kids and a crazy mess on the table.
Recently I was introduced to a new product meant to help with messy mealtime, called My Plate-Mate. Essentially, My Plate-Mate (which is a mom-invented product - OBV!!) is a teaching tool for eating. You stretch the plastic half-dome around your child's plate so they can push their food around without getting it everywhere. No mess (well, less mess), no frustrating eating experiences, and a fun accessory for their plates! The plastic is dishwasher-safe and is BPA-free.
Worth a try, wouldn't you say? Especially since this product retails for just $7.95.
Win it! Through Friday, October 17th, one Daily Grind reader will win a $10 gift certificate at My Plate-Mate. Or buy one now and save 10% through October, by entering promo code "MESSFREE" at checkout.
GO!
Finally a teaching tool for young children! Sounds like a product my grandson would love and needs! Great blog

Sounds like a good idea, but I'd have to try it to see for myself.

these are so cute! its important that kids feel they have their own things, and kitchen ware always makes eating time fun and special, I love the designs.
