Today’s Giveaway is helping to keep our kids eating healthy. Amy, from Super Healthy Kids is full of ideas for eating right. Check out her blog to keep up to date with fun recipes and other food ideas for healthy eating.
Super Healthy Kids features this fantastic Healthy Habits Plate. It has 3 portioned sized sections on the plate, focusing on what the portion sizes should be, as well which types of foods should be eaten. “The Healthy Habits plate teaches kids that half their plate should be full of fruits and vegetables, 1/4 of their plate should be filled with protein, and 1/4 of the plate with grains. Kids will begin to learn how tasty healthy eating can be.”
Super Healthy Kids is happily giving away a set of 2 plates to one winner. Simply leave a comment on this post by Thursday, July 10th @ Midnight and you’re entered to win. The winner will be announced Friday morning. Thanks Amy, for helping our kids learn to be healthy.

Hi!
Congratulations on your new baby!
Just wanted to let you know that you have a reader in Israel too. I love your blog! Thanks for all the ideas!
Would you mind writing about celebrating birthdays for the little ones (parties, presents etc.)? My son’s first birthday is getting close.
May I post a link to your blog on mine (Hebrew only)?
Thank you,
Miri
I love reading every new blog entry. These plates are a great idea. Thanks.
Cute plate and very sensible idea!
How cute! What a great idea and a great website!
This is a great idea!
That is such a great idea! The amazing thing is that we used to have similar plates years ago, without the designated areas of course, and we would use the largest area for the meat-and-potatoes main dish, while the vegetables and a dessert went in the small areas. So much more nutritious and healthy–this is a terrific way to teach our kids how to eat well.
I love this idea! Maybe it’ll help my boys to eat better!
what a great idea!
I love the idea of the plate and would love to win it!!
Love the plate! Thanks for the chance to win!
Hi Marie! Good Morning!
This is a very cute plate! My son is a very picky eater. It’s a control thing for him.(He’s a true scorpio!) We’ve done the weeks of the same food for every meal. I’ve read that many kids do this and it’s OK – on the flip I’ve read you should “force” your kids to eat what you want them to. What’s all of your thoughts on this?
What a great tool to teach my toddler to eat healthy!
I love the happy little strawberry. What cute plates and a great idea. Thanks!
That plate is such a great idea! I always feel like it’s a struggle to get my son to eat his veggies. Thanks for another great give away.
such cute plates. just found your blog. it is helping me get through the summer with three kids! :)
we’re making the sponge splashers today.
very cool idea! And they are cute too!
Love the plates. My boys would get so into matching their food with the pictures.
Found your blog through Crafty Crow. I really love it, always looking for healthy snacks for my 3 little ones. Thanks!!
These are adorable! And my little pattern-following preschooler would really enjoy following the “rules” of the plate!
What a great idea. I am always looking for new ideas to feed the little ones! Thanks!
These plates are great – I would love them! Thank you.
Enter me! What a simple idea, but makes such a difference! Thanks for the giveaway!
Oh, my kids would love those sectioned and “labeled” plates! Thank you!
What a good idea. I think my kids would get a kick out of these.
Such a genius idea!
What a great idea! I love it!
Okay, I love that plate — we are healthy eaters at our house and this would be an awesome way to even help them see what they should focus on finishing when they’re not keen on eating everything on their plate. I love this!
Oooh! Me! I think my girls might even cooperate with that!
The only plate better than this one would be one that magically hides all the other food until the veggies are eaten. Then the grains and protein would be revealed. As is, I think this plate would work pretty darn well! Do you mind if I post a link to your blog on mine?
I have been to her website but forgot about these, they are to cute.
Great idea! Besides helping out our children, this should be helpful reminder for parents like myself.
Congratulations on your baby! I love your site and thanks for the giveaway! This is a great way to show my daughters that they shouldn’t eat all bread for a meal!
I read the article in a Utah Valley magazine online about this product and was impressed with the story. I would love to win a couple of these plates. I know my kids would love them.
Thanks!
Wow, we could REALLY use these at my house. One only eats from the grains group and one only eats from the fruits. They need a little visual on balance. :) Awesome product!
This plate is a really good idea. What a great way to help teach your kids!!
This would be a great visual to help teach my students about nutrition and healthy eating!
love the smiling vegetables – a little subtle encouragement that veggies are good is always appreciated.
What a great idea! We always try to eat healthy, but there will be no more excuses with this handy little reminder!
Wow! My little boy could sure use this. He thinks the world revolves around chocolate. I’ve been looking for ways to get him to eat healthy. This may be my answer.
What a cute plate! I would love this for my kids!
I wonder if this would help my girls to eat their dinner? It would be worth a try. Off to check out her blog too.
Love your blog. I check it daily. Congrats on your newest addition too!
These plates are a great idea and so cute too!!
Do they make these for grown ups?! Please put my name in the hat, my kiddos would enjoy these.
Great idea, very cute plate!
Sounds like this plate is a good reminder for the parents, as well! Great idea.
How cute these are! Count us in!

What cute little plates. I love this idea and your website…you are fabulous!!!!
What a grat idea to get our kids healthy! So fun!
What great plates! Now if I could only get my daughter to eat all the veggies on the plate!
What a fun and awesome way to help kids eat healthy!
What a cute idea! I need these in adult plates. LOL
Oh my gosh I love it! Please enter me in!
My kids love eating out of plates that have sections. Those are so cute!!
Super cute!
I love the plate! I had no idea that you should have more fruits and veggies than grains.
Sounds good to me! And thanks for introducing me to Super Healthy Kids-what a great resource.
what a fantastic plate! I love the visual inpact for the kids. (and for myself!) they should make those in adult size. Although, that probably is adult size too!! Thank you!
xoxo~

What a great idea! Why didn’t I think of that. ;) Thanks for the chance to win and congrats on your sweet baby girl!
Cute idea! I know a lot of us moms could use a gentle reminder to eat more veggies as well. :)
Great idea & love the blog too (both blogs:) )
Love your blog. Thanks for the chance to win. :)
so cute, my dd would love something like that, she already enjoys her fruits and veggies and it will be a great reminder to me on what and how much to feed her.
That’s a neat idea. I don’t know if the portion thing would help me or my daughter more though!
Cute plate and I like the blog too!
This is awesome! My daughter loves these types of plates and it allows me to add a variety to her plates for dinner. Thanks!
wow, great idea! And your new baby is so adorable!
This is a really great idea. I love how they are coming out with plates like this. I could even use one for myself. :) Thanks for the chance!
What a terrific idea! My kids love to serve themselves. This is a great guide for them.
I love this plate! What a great giveaway!!!
Hi !
Oh wow, this is one neat & brilliant idea ! My sons (4 & 6 y-o) would love it !
You have an awesome site, I discovered it weeks ago, and wished I had discovered it long ago ! Thanks for sharing with everyone !
Best regards from France *Ü*
So fun! Thank you!

What a great idea. I love your givaways. Thanks.
sweet little plate. Would love to have one of those for my toddler. Thanks for the giveaway!
I’m into it!
cute plates.
Thanks again Marie, and Amy!
Those are way cute. I could use one for me:)
Carson would love this plate and 2 would be great!!
That is a great idea. Although I’m not sure who could use it more, my daughter or me.
I always enjoy reading your blog. Cute plates-& cute blog you shared. I always need help with keeping my kids healthy! Thanks for sharing!
Neat idea but my girls have chosen to go vegetarian. I don’t suppose they make an animal friendly version?
These plates are a GREAT idea! Do they have any for adults??? :) I need a little reminder about portion-control once in a while! ha ha
‘Crossing my fingers…
What a great idea, love these!
What a great idea!
I love that other people are anxious to keep kids eating healthy….sometimes I feel like I am the only one in this potato chip world.
cute plates! I love love love divided plates!!
These are awesome! They remind me of my mother’s nutritionist “you will eat veggies as much as possible” meals.
I love her blog! I check it often. I also put my kiddos veggies and fruits on the biggest part of thier plates. Having those plates would be fun. They are so cute!
I’d love to win this. Thanks!
I love these!
I also think this is a great idea. It will work great for my kids since they are still in the “Mom, my food is touching!” stage of life. I also have a preteen who is eating more than me, so portions sizes are a daily conversation in my home.
I’m going to go check out the site now, cause I’m going to need 4 if I’m not lucky enough to win 2 of them :)
Very smart plate! Thanks!
what a great & darling idea
Love this idea! Thanks!
These plates are such a great idea. I try to keep my daughter eating healthy meals and snacks and it’s difficult when her cousins and friends get sugary foods all the time.
She’d love these plates, and so would I :D
Thanks for the contest!
My 2.5 year old son is way in to cooking, choosing good food for his body, etc. He would LOVE this plate in a BIG way. Thanks!
Love this idea…it’s never to early to teach them to make their own healthy food choices!
Love this idea….I’ve got one picky eater!
This plate would really help me out when trying to remember portion sizes and how to create a balanced meal for my two kids.
What a great idea. My 6 year old is being more aware of what is healthy and what is not. Luckily for me, she loves eating healthy. Makes it easier for me.
I’m thinking that this might be the one thing that gets my 3 year old eating more fruits and veggies!!
How cute!! My daughter would love these!
Great and healthy idea!

How cool are those plates?!? We’d love some at our house!
I want that!
How fun! I would love a set :)
This is such a cool idea! And thank you for linking the Super Healthy Kids website, I will definately pour over that, we tend to get into food rut (healthy but still rut) easily.
Very cute idea!
This is a fantastic way to show my kids the same things I’ve been trying to get them to do for years!! :D
I need the plate! Thanks for the link to Super Healthy Kids. Your site helps me tremendously with raising my twins.
Just found this website, and I’ll definetly be checking back often!
Great idea…this helps kids learn to the “portions” each section should have — please enter me.
So fun!
Cute plates! Thank you!
Love this idea!! Wow. These are amazingly cute. Pop my name in, please. :)
What a great plate. Genius I tell you. What a simple idea, but a super way to instill proper eating habits!
BTW I love your blog.
I am always looking for ways to help my kids make good choices. Thanks for the cute plate idea!
Hey there! Love the plate idea! Thanks for offering such a healthy giveaway!!
What a fantastic, educational idea! I was raised with an extreme emphasis placed on healthy eating. My mother has since passed away, and I am just starting to give my first little baby finger foods and am finding myself desperately wanting to teach him the importance of eating well. A plate like this would do a lot to help make it fun for them at this age and onward. Hats off to whoever made it!
The plate is a great idea!
i just love the plate! what a great idea, portion control is a very important lesson for children to learn.
Great idea. Love the plates.
What great plates! My fingers and toes are crossed – my two year old would love these!!
Thanks!
Shauna
What cute plates. Thanks for the idea and info!
Those are neat! We need em’!!
love the plates. I need them! My kids think 3 bites of veggies is torture!
Love, love, love the plate!
Those are the cutest plates. What a great idea for little ones
I love the plates–great idea!
It has been a joy to get inspiration from you and pass that along to my family. Thanks!
I love the plate- too cute!!
That is the most brilliant idea! I LOVE it! Thanks for the fun give-a-way…..even if I don’t win! :)
What a great plate. I have laminated food pyramids for my kids and we always pull them out at every meal or snack time and we talk about what food groups they are eating from. My kids are very young still but they love it and it makes sense to them.
I would love these plates! I have such a hard time making sure my kids get their fruits and veggies. I think these would really help.
I can across your site and am excited to use some of your fun ideas with my kids. I’m not very creative, so I hope you don’t mind me using ALL of your ideas! :)
Way cute plate. My kids would love these. Love the ideas here. Thanks!
Very cute plates! Great giveaway!
We try to keep our girls on a healthy diet without going overboard and making them gorge on junk food when they get out of our sight. I am still amazed when my 4 year old presents any food item to me so that I can read the ingredients to be sure there is no “high fuit corn syrup” listed. Do you think that will last?
I just stumbled across your blog – tons of great information to be found here, can’t wait to look around some more! Adorable plates, my preschooler would get a kick out of them. Do they make them for grown-ups too?
TOO cute! Such a great idea!
Yours and Amy’s sites are my two new favorites! I check these more often than I check my email! ;) Love this idea!
what a cool idea, and so simple, i love it!
Love the plates, what a great idea. The strawberry is too cute.
Such a cute and helpful plate!
I just found your blog today and I am already in love. Thanks!
I would love this plate for my picky-eater!!!
Thanks so much, I love this plate.
I’m a new fan of your blog, and I like this plate!
I love your blog! I would love to win this plate.
I’m so glad I checked in tonight. These would be GREAT for my kids. We are not very good about eating the right foods. I am so bookmarking her blog to keep up to date. Thanks.
Hope I’m not too late!
