MyPlate Felt Set - 56 Pieces

My picky three-year-old actually sits still while we sort the fruit and vegetable pieces onto the MyPlate model together. The felt is sturdy enough to survive being dropped on the floor repeatedly.

I hang these felt pieces on the fridge with magnets and my 4-year-old sorts the food groups during snack time. The real images make it easy for her to identify fruits, vegetables, and grains compared to cartoon pictures. She already asks for a balanced plate more often.

The photos on the felt pieces are real food images, which makes it way easier for my kindergartner to grasp portion sizes than the cartoon versions we tried before. We've used it almost every night to plan dinner together, and the pieces stick nicely to our felt board without sliding off.
