If you are try to loose wight I would get thisIf you purchased this product one can assume your child will read, or ask you to read what is on their plate. .my child enjoys learning to categorize as meal time. She asks questions and tries new things. We love it. But allas, all good things must come to an end. Close a month now and it fading away.Also great for portion control and what nutrients the kids should be eating. Don’t put in the dishwasherI would have loved to have kept these plates. But as soon as I opened the box, the first plate was split in half. Now I just need 1 plate because I only watch over 1 little Autistic boy. But I don't think I should pay for 4 and only get 3. So I sent them back.And thanks for reminding me through these reviews. I have to reorder these plates again!Thanks,GrammydiI was unable to find my original review to provide an update, but I did want to write about our recent experience. We have had these plates for sometime now, and they have been a great learning tool for our son. I put all the 4 food groups out for him even if he does not eat them all because I think it helps him to see what he could and should be eating. The idea of these plates is awesome! The colors are bright and I feel comfortable with my son handling (carrying) these plates too. We did have an issue with a few plates after two years (2 yrs!) and I contacted the company asking about this. They responded right away and offered to replace the set. I felt uncomfortable taking a whole set after 2 years so I asked for just one plate so I could keep using as a 'teaching' tool. I did not hear back via email, but instead received an entire set from the company within only a few days. I just want to say that it is so nice to see a company stand by their product and display true customer service. I did give 4 stars, and was not sure if I should, but I did this because 1) the issue did exist, which prompted my call to them, and 2) my original rating was 4 stars because I feel that the 4 sections could be larger for kids as they grow (I find that I need to pile the sections high as my son grows because he is eating more and more as time goes no). Otherwise, they would get a 5 for customer service , which is so hard to come by these days! Thank you Super Healthy Kids!Great for teaching my kids about portions. Only negative is that the red color on the plate rim is rubbing off after about a month of using/washing. It's either the oils or the soap that is rubbing it off.The red is starting to wear off but that’s all. Good sturdy plateI bought these for my boys who tend to want more and more so they can self limit their portions I serve to them. They are great, stack great, super sturdy, and clean easy. But after the 3rd use, I am having "smear" problems with the images. I dont have a dishwasher and I dont microwave them. I ordered a dozen plates because I have other children I babysit, so im sad to only give these 3 stars solely because the images are just smearing off the edges. The ink is continually smearing so Im going to have to scrub the ink off or replace these.Lovely plate it’s great for demonstrating portion controlAverageGood value for money, nice colour and design. Portion size dividers are excellent, sturdy and durable.The plate is great maybe a little expensive but it is being used a lot, so on the whole pleased.
