Dinner is a time for bonding over a shared meal, creating family memories and encouraging healthy eating habits.


If you are having a hard time with a picky eater (or two) we know just how frustrating that can be. 


Here are some tricks to making mealtime and new foods a little easier for your kids to handle, and creating peace and joy in the home!

 

 

1. Our Favorite Kid Friendly cookbook!

 

Susie Fishbein is the master of all things Kosher and delicious! We love the Kids in the Kitchen cookbook because the recipes are exciting and kid-friendly, but best believe adults will enjoy, as well! They are also simplified just enough for older kids to take on the challenge of making dinner (with some overseeing, of course!)

 

 

 

 

2.  Choose A Suction Plate For Little Ones

 

These sturdy silicone plates won’t budge no matter how much your toddler tries dumping his food to the floor. The pretty colors and compartments make this a no-brainer addition to dinner.

 

 

 

 

3. And A Hilarious Plate For The Older Kids!

 

Didn’t your mother ever tell you not to play with your food? We’re here to tell you it’s ok! Get your kids laughing and eating while making hilarious hair dos on these face plates.

 

 

 

 

4. Another Great Plate for Young Kids To Keep Food Separate

 

These vehicle themed plates keep different foods in separate compartments (because foods are not at all allowed to touch!) while also keeping mealtime fun. Fun and lighthearted means less food battles over dinner. Win win.

 

 

 

 

5. Get Kids Helping In The Kitchen! They Love To Eat Their Creations

 

Your child can help for Shabbos or weeknight dinner with this child-proof kitchen set! They will feel so accomplished and proud of themselves. The blade-free peeler is especially helpful, ensuring that no nicks happen, and trains their hands to eventually upgrade to a real one. They will be proud and love to eat their creations in the kitchen.

 

 

 

 

6. These Animal Picks Are Just Plain Fun!

 

Sometimes you just need to make things look fun and pretty to get kids tasting. Especially if you’re introducing kids to a new vegetable or food, a fun mode for them to eat will encourage them to take chances with their developing taste buds.

 

 

 

 

7. These Eyeballs Will Give Your Boring Veggies Some Real Personality

 

We're only messing around a little. But truly, keeping food exciting means that kids are much more likely to take a bite! And studies show that kids need to be exposed to new foods up to 30 times in order for them to develop a real taste and liking for it. So dress up your vegetables with these eyeball picks, we dare you!

 

 

 

 

8. Pick Up That Meatball or Brussel Sprouts With Butterfly Wings

 

For the little princess in your life. Give foods their wings with these pretty butterfly forks.

 

 

 

 

9. Let Kids Cut Out Cute Veggie Shapes

 

Kids are 5 times as likely to eat a carrot if it's shaped like a flower. Because flower carrots just taste better! Don't believe us? Taste it for yourselves :)

 

 

 

 

10. An Interesting Way To Present Rice or Couscous

 

Use these fun shaped food molds to press rice or other small grained foods into a fun shape. Can even be used to shape hard boiled eggs! Just boil most of the way, peel, place inside the mold, and finish the last minute or two of cooking. And then you have a car shaped egg!

 

 

 

 

11. They’ll Be Begging To Build And Construct All The Way To Their Mouths

 

Pick up the food and excavate all the way inside your mouth. Food tastes so much better when you use building forks and spoons.

 

 

 

 

12. Have Fun While Eating Dinner And Learning New Motor Skills

 

Use these disposable tongs for a new way for kids to eat their dinner. Bonus points for strengthening hand grasp.

 

 

 

 

13. Why Not Use Some Kid Friendly Chopsticks For Dinner One Night?

 

These child chopsticks are fun for picking up their foods and also teaches them to use chopsticks, which, spoiler alert is a great way for kids to learn pencil holding! Win win.

 

 

 

 

14. These Gardening Tools Are Actually Forks and Spoons, Shhh!

 

Another pair of fun utensils, these ones are pretty and look like gardening tools. So fun for scooping up that meal.

 

 

 

15. For Lunchtime Fun, Use This Handy Sandwich Maker

 

If you're making lunches for school or camp, this sandwich stamper is genius. It cuts off the crusts while enclosing the sandwich. And shaping it into a square or circle! Fun sandwich shapes ensure that they get eaten :)

 

 

16. Pop Lunch Or Snacks Into This Neat Container

 

These lunch containers are reusable but also disposable enough that it won't break the bank if one or two go missing and don't make it back to your home. The separate containers keeps things neat and fresh tasting.

 

 

 

 

17. Keep Things Pretty And Separate With Colorful Baking Cups

 

Silicone muffin tins can be used for baking, but we love to use them in a lunch box or container. Put small items inside, keeping them colorful, kid-friendly and contained. Cute!
