Play With Your Food

While shopping in Newport, RI at a cutesy store, I came across and bought this hilarious piece of dishware: A Fred Face Plate! It reminded me right away of this old magnetic board I had with a bald headed person, and you used the magnet brush to add hair to his head, a mustache, beard, etc. Now I can have the same fun with food!
This ceramic plate is dishwasher and microwave safe and “Fred” can be dressed using food. Who says you shouldn’t play with your food? This plate is a fun way to get kids interested in what is on their plates (and me too, I guess, though I’m always interested in what is on my plate!).
Whole wheat spaghetti would make great curly hair. I can picture cherry tomato eyes and a beard made out of broccoli. I’m excited to add this new plate to our collection, along with our “Health Nut” plates and another new one that says, “Funky Monkey.” Clearly, we have fun with our food.
