Fussy eater? These cool products might help make mealtimes easier

Mealtimes with children can be a very delicate (and messy) operation, especially when you throw a fussy eater into the mix.

Here are five clever and cool products that could help make mealtimes a little more healthy and fun for all involved. 1 Soldier egg cup and toast cutter Now you really CAN dip your boiled eggs with soldiers. When I say 'you', I mean the kids, obviously. The little guy holding the egg comes with his very own spoon, and will no doubt get your child's attention. 2 Food face dinner plates These plates will inspire the kind of interaction you want at mealtimes. Children can place their food on the face to give Mr Food different looks, so all you have to do now is convince them that he would look fabulous with a pair of sprouts as earrings. 3 Eat It! Wall chart A fun way to get more fruit and veg into their diet, this cleverly designed wall chart will help encourage children (and adults) to be more adventurous in their eating habits. All you have to do is tick off the food until you've tried the lot. 4 Sandwich cutters Food tastes better when it's cut up into shapes, or so we are reliably informed by many children. When you haven't got the time or energy to cut up sandwiches into fancy shapes (let's face it, who has?), this sandwich and crust cutter, which comes in two shapes, will do it for you. 5 Squeezee pouches Fill n Squeeze pouches are an ideal way to serve homemade toddlers snacks they will love, like smoothies, veg purees and even warm porridge. The reusable packs are 100 per cent free of Bisphenol-A (BPA), phthalates and lead; as well as microwave, freezer and bottle warmer safe.
