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!!

This has helped my 5 year old eat so much! A little background, my child was born prematurely, 100% g-tube fed all her life, and oral aversion was at its peak. With the help of feeding therapy, she has become more open to trying new food and textures. However, we have struggled to get her to finish her food even when she’s hungry. This plate keeps her engaged and willing to take the next bite with hopes of reaching the surprise at the end. There has been once instance where she wanted another surprise and was able to complete the “map” AGAIN! Really great tool to help make eating fun for the older kids.

My son is autistic, which comes with some serious sensory issues. We have tried so many ideas to encourage him to eat fruits and veggies and meats and other “moist” foods that we know he needs to eat for nutritional value, but he just can’t stand to eat anything except dry, crunchy food (crackers, chips, other processed food). We’ve never had success though. It’s been an exhausting battle…until this plate was suggested to us. We’ve had it over a month now, and EVERY SINGLE NIGHT since it arrived, my son BEGS to “play” it. He begs for the challenge of fruits and veggies and chicken on his plate. He evens begs for a 2nd plate of that same HEALTHY food. We’ve made it a fun game every night. My son gets input on the “treat” that goes in the surprise final tray at the end (we often put in vitamin gummies on his first round). We don’t rush him; we make it fun and tell stories along the way as he eats a new food from a new spot on the plate (“Don’t let T-Rex take your chicken! He loves to eat meat!”). We all cheer him on when he finishes with big clapping and chants, and he is always so excited to open the cap on the surprise tray at the finish line (even when he knows what’s inside). I cannot recommend this plate enough. It has literally changed my evenings with my family. It used to be so overwhelming figuring out ways to get my son the nutrition he needs without causing the whole house the stress of an overwhelming meltdown. Now my son looks forward to dinner, and it’s enjoyable and fun for all of us. I’ll also note: the price seemed so high to me at first, but the plate is amazing quality and has had such an impact on my child’s eating habits that I would’ve paid twice as much for it knowing what I know now. I even intend on getting another for him as a birthday gift.

This thing has dramatically changed how my son views trying new food. He's four, and he never wanted to so much as touch greens or fruits or anything that wasn't "yummy." But with this plate, I put one-bite samples of new foods in each area, with his favorite foods alternating in between, and he's tried all kinds of foods that he NEVER would have eaten before. And he does it with a cheerful attitude, instead of whining and sobbing and arguing. He said the other day, "Even if I don't like tomatoes, I can just swallow them quick and then eat my candy!" He's really into looking at it like a "game." I make him start at the start of the plate path, and he can't skip any squares as he progresses towards the dessert at the end. If he wants to quit halfway through, I just shrug and say, "Okay, no problem. Maybe next time you'll make it to the dessert at the end. I'll wrap this up and put it in the fridge for the next meal." That's only happened once - the rest of the meals he's eaten everything on the plate for the last several weeks since we got it! And it takes the stress out of it all. I LOVE love love this plate.

After a rough stretch with persistent acid reflux, my 4-year-old developed a negative association with meals. The Genuine Fred DINNER WINNER, Enchanted Forest tray was truly magical. he now looks forward to meals, and mealtime is fun again. The segmented “steps” make portions feel manageable and turn dinner into an adventure. Only gripe: we lost the lid for the little treat box at the “finish,” and it’s been challenging to find a substitute. I wish they sold lids separately. Overall, fantastic product, just docking one star for the lack of replacement lids.

I’m using this for feeding therapy and it is great!

Unser Kind ist ein picky Eater und wir hatten gehofft es ihr mit diesem Teller leichter zu machen. Sie liebt den Teller und es hilft ihr tatsächlich, dass sie auch alles von Teller ist und nicht nur das Gemüse stehen lässt ;-) Am Ende dann eine Überraschung ist sowieso immer cool

È stato un regalo per il mio nipotino. Molto bello e originale da farsi obbligatoriamente!!!

Ein schönes Produkt um Kindern mehr Freude am Essen zu vermitteln. Gerade für Kinder, die nicht so gut essen, ist dieser Teller ein großer Ansporn, alles auf zu essen um am Ende den „Schatz“ zu bekommen. Außerdem ist er Spülmaschinen fest, was auch sehr positiv ist. Würde ihn immer wieder kaufen.

Love this product! My 5 year old is a picky eater - but she is really competitive. LOL. She loves the challenge to eat every square and get to the finish. She also loves "junk" so she can't wait to get to the castle at the end and see what her treat is. We use this every night at dinner!

Used this for my daughter who is a fussy eater and it worked wonders
