Genuine Fred DINNER WINNER Kids' Dinner Tray, Pirate

Huge help for my super picky eater. I will probably go into more detail than I need to, but for parents at a loss, my child just had FOUR plates of food from this plate.For quality: it’s great, heavy plastic. I don’t expect it to fade or chip at all. The finish square has a cover which is great for hiding the surprise at the end to keep kids excited to eat or at least more open to eat. I do wish the finish square was just slightly bigger, but that’s only because I’m putting hot wheels cars under it. It would be great for a small piece of chocolate or fruit, not much bigger than that.Now my story with this plate:I have a 3 year old who is one of the pickiest eaters. Trying new foods would result in refusal, meltdowns and tears. I’ve tried it all, offering foods over and over, getting them involved in making, bribery, etc and while I might get a couple bites here or there on the rare occasion, nothing really worked. Tonight I made one safe food (mashed potatoes) meatballs and carrots. I started with every other square mashed potatoes and each square 1 to 2 bites with a hot wheels car wrapped in a paper towel hidden underneath the finish. My toddler was hesitant and first, but with repeated reminders it was only one bite and then back to mashed potatoes, he finally tried a bite! From there, the next plate I upped it, now it was 2-3 bites and then back to mashed potatoes. By the 4th plate we were up to 4 bites per square! He easily had 8 carrot slices, a full meatball and probably 3/4 of a cup of mashed potatoes total! Previous attempts with a “normal” plate of this exact meal were very, very lucky if he took 1 or 2 bites total if any at all. Making it into a game and smaller bites helped us tremendously!! I’m absolutely shocked and so happy we took a chance on it!!

Great quality and pictures. Cleaning is also not that difficult. It’s very easy to fill up with different items to let the baby explore. My baby is very interested in the pictures and it turns the meal time a fun activity. We name the things on the plate and pretend play feeding the animals which encourages him to eat them himself.

Great for a picky eater. Good quality and easy to clean.

First, allow me to start by saying we have THE pickiest 2 and a half year old eater, EVER. This Dinner Winner plate was on my Amazon wishlist for a very long time... I wish I had ordered it sooner! I was hesitant to order mainly because of the pricetag, but also because we've literally tried everything, and nothing worked for our picky gal. I assumed it would be another cheaply made plastic gimmick that would fail. Quality-wise, the plate is incredibly sturdy and not thin or cheap-looking which impressed me. After watching her eat dinner tonight- $20 was a small price to pay, for those results I'd have gladly paid $200! :) She cleared the plate- chowing down on couscous, mandarin oranges, salmon, and (you ready for this?!) BROCCOLI. Yes, broccoli, the dreaded green vegetable of nightmares. All just to earn the right to open the dessert lid and see what surprise was in store for her. She loved it. WE loved it. Dinner was a stress-free success. If you're having doubts- take my word for it and order it now! You won't be sorry!

My 3 year old would not eat anything good other than milk, bacon, raisin bread and the occasional chicken strip, only wanted cookies/chocolate/candy. I am a professional chef and make tons of good food for him to try, I know he would like it if only he would try it but could never convince him to taste anything, not even pizza/mac & cheese/mashed potato, nothing.I put tiny portions of various foods on this plate, making sure there was at least one thing I knew he would eat, and then put a candy in the treasure chest spot. The first attempt he ate 3 new foods and since then he tries at least a bite of whatever I put in the tray because to him it’s a game that he likes to play. We have only been using this for a few days and he’s already tried a dozen new items and to his surprise he likes them. These plates are a great icebreaker to get kids past stubbornly refusing everything you try to feed them, best purchase in a long time!

First, this tray is very well-made, bright, and colorful! The dinosaurs are cute and entertaining, which will help motivate picky eaters. My almost-three-year-old loved this, but I was limited with what foods I could use, since the spaces were small. It worked great for snack time (with berries, nuts, and cheeses), but it was a little difficult to add foods that tend to be a bit bigger. Overall, the portioned spaces would equal a decent-sized plate for a toddler, but it was awkward trying to fit meats and veggies in the spaces. We’ll still use it for snack time, but this tray would be wonderful for the 12-24 month crowd.
