We had a great weekend celebrating SisMama's birthday, and will talk about it later this week. Meanwhile, I just stumbled upon this cool item and wanted to share it.
Do you remember being a kid and needing encouragement to eat? I don't. I think I've always liked to eat, and sometimes wish I didn't enjoy it so much! But I've known kids who weren't interested in food at all, and had to be bribed or threatened to eat. Maybe this cool product would make mealtime fun for them, or maybe it would be even more fun for us big kids!
Food Face Plate
It's Wooly Willy; that dude from the magnetic game you took in the car with you on road trips! But now, he's on a plate and instead of decorating him with magnetic metal shavings, you're decorating him with your food. I love the green bean eyebrows!
I heard about the Food Face Plate from FreshTrend, and found the plates available for sale on Perpetual Kid for $9.95. If you buy one of these and play with your food, send us a photo!

i TOTALLY remember wooly willy—frankly i wish i still had him, he was fun! this is a really terrific idea (unless you happen to be one of those silly parents who don’t encourage kids to play with their food…). 🙂

I loved Wooly Willy! We could play with that for hours! That was back in the day when we could entertain ourselves without all the technological toys!
This is a cute idea, but my food would get cold ’cause I’d be so busy making new faces! I love the one with the carrots for lips and mac & cheese for hair. 🙂

Hi Grace,
I loved Wooly Willy too. We went through several of them when we were kids. I found another one a few years ago at a country store, but lost the magnetic wand, which pretty much renders Willy useless. 🙁

Hey LilSis, I’d do the same thing. I’m thinking a hummus beard with cherry tomato eyeballs and asparagus eyebrows!
