Livliga dishes
Most parents strive to provide a well-balanced diet for their children. However, this can prove to be a tough task for those that have picky eaters. Parents often try out a variety of motivational tools to encourage healthy eating. One option is to use a plate that is divided into food groups.
Livliga, a company based in Colorado, creates plates that offer a gentle reminder about portion control within the designs of the plates. In addition to the plates designed for adults, they have created beautiful dishes for children that are designed to indicate portion sizes for a well balanced meal.
Kidliga dishes are made of porcelain, which makes them an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic divided dishes for children. The plate has 4 circles that indicate the correct portion size and picture that reflect a food group. The sets come with a mug and bowl as well. Customers can choose from either a pink or blue set.
The Kidliga place setting for children also comes with a book called Sammie and Sax in the Land of Quinoa...the Search for a Balanced Meal. The book follows a brother and sister team as they travel to a magical land to find out what a well-balanced meal is. It is a great way to start a conversation with children about good foods that should be in their daily diets. The characters from the book are included in the illustrations on the dishes.
Kidliga place settings are available online at www.livligahome.com. They are $49.95 for the set which includes a hard cover book, one plate, one bowl and one mug.
