How about using a fun placemat during dinner which can then be folded into different shapes for them to play with once they’ve finished eating?

How it works

  1. Pick a mat design that your child will like and print it out.
  2. Place the mat under your child’s plate of food.
  3. Once your child has tried the new food and finished eating it, follow the instructions to fold the mat into a fun shape.
