Dinner Meets Dress-Up

Some of us will try anything. Especially when it comes to getting our kids to eat. We give veggies cute names (candy tomatoes, instead of cherry toms, anyone?) or even emotions (your broccoli looks so sad) not to mention the embarrassing games. We would rather they eat than play with their food, but if playing will get them to eat…we’re not above it. Food Face by Fred & Friends is one answer – a mid-sized plate handcrafted from hotel-quality, food-safe, high-fire ceramics with a face, begging for some adornment, front and center with endless possibilities. Broccoli bouffant? Mash potato makeover? We’re all for eating and making a fashion statement at the same time. Also available in Ms Food Face. $12; worldwidefred.com
