Now your kid can reall make a happy plate. Fred and Friends Food Plate is just like that old toy you used to have where you take the magnetic pieces and make facial hair shapes in them. How fun would it be to do it with your food?

Go Ahead - Play with Your Food

We have always played airplane when trying to get both of our girls to eat. The youngest really took to it and we can get her to eat anything if we make it an airplane. I wonder what she would really do if her for was in the shape of an airplane.

create a bib

This is a cool idea and we love this product. It basically can make an ordinary restaurant napkin and turn it into a bib. It comes in handy for the diaper bag. You don't have to worry about packing a bib everytime you leave the house. It's made by Kipiis and comes in several colors.

snack ball

This little snack ball is made by Boon. It's perfect for small, tiny fingers. My daughter loves carrying it around. The disk swings open and shut easily, so a toddler can do it. The halves come apart too for easy cleaning.

spinning bowl that doesn't make a mess

We got this bowl when my daughter was 2. My husband was a huge non-believer. Of course he would pick the bowl up and throw it across the room and of course it would spill. However, for the most part it did it's job. If you have a tiny tot you know how it seems like they hold their bowl sideways the inner bowl will stay level. It even comes with a lid. It's called a Lunar Bowl.

never lose your tippy cup / bottle again

Ok, I see this product all over the place. In parenting magazines, advertised online and I have to say it's pretty neat. My sister-in-law not only uses it to put her child's name on it, but he has a peanut allergy and she put that on there too. Just as a reminder. It's great for bottles and tippy cups. Never lose your cups again! Just google Bumpy Name and it should come up.

how can you not play with your food?

This is something I saw about 6 months ago that I fell in love with. I still haven't gotten it, b/c I think our girls are too old. However, I want to keep it in mind the next one year old party I go too. The bowls come out of the tray and have lids for easy leftover food storage. It's made by Skip Hop.
