Once we landed on that type we bought a bunch so they'd stack. But in the last few days we decided to just use regular plates and bowls for him. It's been a really long time since he was in the throwing plate stage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-off-of#post-2648552 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 19:07:13 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2648552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Happy mat or high chair tray. I have some munchkin suction cup bowls that I have started using too. I do find it annoying to wash the happy mat and high chair tray, but so much food gets thrown on the floor I can't handle plates too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-off-of#post-2648476 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 13:53:02 +0000 Pumuckl 2648476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 21m old eats of a melanin plate and my 3.5y old uses a regular porcelain plate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-off-of#post-2648468 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 13:06:03 +0000 peachykeen 2648468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tanjowen: We use the Replay ones as well - I love them! We also use their open cups and I'm debating buying some non-divided plates for things like pizza and sandwiches (DD has recently started asking to use what she calls "be careful plates" (meaning our regular, breakable plates). I guess that's what she always remembers me saying when I give her one, ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-off-of#post-2648458 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 11:51:07 +0000 brownepiano 2648458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Plastic bowls and plates from Target, but not the divided ones.

Super cheap and 1 pack is enough until we run the dishwasher. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-off-of#post-2648302 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 19:48:04 +0000 Foodnerd81 2648302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3 year old eats off plain plastic plates- I like the ones I got at Ikea recently. We have a stack so they can sit and wait in the dishwasher. I also have a plastic placemat under it because she is still messy, and it's Frozen, so she loves it, but I just wipe that when I clear the table. I got so sick of divided plates that don't stack in each other that I threw them out when we moved! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-off-of#post-2648301 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 19:44:12 +0000 Tanjowen 2648301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Re-Play-Divided-Plates-Yellow-3-Count/dp/B007HZBOFG?th=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Re-Play-Divided-Plates-Yellow-3-Count/dp/B007HZBOFG?th=1</a> </p> <p>They work very well and I bought 2 packs, so I can toss the used ones in the dishwasher and not have to worry about having a clean plate for the next meal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-off-of#post-2648295 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 19:31:43 +0000 jhd 2648295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just use plastic divided plates from Target. Either Target brand colored ones or a few character ones. LO's favorite thing right now is a "surprise plate" which basically means I bring him a plate with three or four different things on it and surprise him. Because at 2.5 if I ask him if he wants to eat X or Y he just says no even if it's his favorite food. :silly: The divided plates work well for our "surprise plates" and they easily go in the dishwasher. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-off-of#post-2648293 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 19:28:55 +0000 Jennibenni 2648293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What dish does your toddler eat off of? We have a happy mat and I'm tired of washing it two or three times a day. We don't have a full size high chair so eating off of the tray isn't an option. I like the happy mat ok but not enough to purchase a second one. Recommendations? </p>
