Question for you: who do you think makes the bigger mess at my dinner table each night – my seven month old daughter who is just learning to eat solids or my 2.5 year old son who has been eating food for 2 years and feeding himself for a year and a half. (To be fair, my husband might give them both a run for their money, but he’s not as much fun to shop for so let’s focus on the little ones.) If you guessed my toddler, you’re right. It’s inevitable and a total given that kids are going to make a mess when they eat, but this little prize bundle has two great products to make meal times a little cleaner and easier for everyone.
The My Plate-Mate is a genius product to help your little one learn to self-feed. Made of FDA approved food grade plastic, the My Plate-Mate fits onto 8.5-9″ round plates and provides a surface against which little hands can push and scoop food onto a spoon or fork.
My Plate-Mate is great for kids to help them gain independence and learn to eat alone. It’s great for parents because it helps keep the table a little cleaner and is dishwasher safe. The small size makes it easy to throw in your diaper bag – certainly easier to carry around than a toddler-specific plate.

Shop! The My Plate-Mate is available in pink, blue and white and is only $7.95. Purchase at MyPlate-Mate.com.
Kushies is a great line of innovative baby products that parents need and kids enjoy. We have the Taffeta Waterpoof Bib with Sleeves and it has saved more than one shirt from mealtime mess disaster. Read the full Shopping Mama review.
