Pea-Play Plates

The Food Face Dinner Plates Encourage Turning Food into Art

— June 10, 2009 — Life-Stages
Food Face Dinner Plates will either distract your child, or aid them in eating “gross” foods such as peas and carrots.

These fun face plates will surely bring out your creative side as you can make different faces depending on which foods you use.

The Food Face Dinner Plates feature Dapper Dan The Magnetic Man, but for some reason, he reminds me of Mr. Potato Head.

Implications - Consumers crave relationships with their products; they enjoy items that urge them to interact with them. Products that do encourage interaction offer function as well as fun to the customer, making it a positive and memorable experience. Companies can alter their products to make them more interactive and appealing to their target demographics.
Trend Themes
1. Interactive Dinnerware - Creating dinner plates with interactive features can enhance the dining experience for consumers, making it more fun and engaging.
2. Food Art - Promoting food art through creative dinner plate designs can encourage children and adults alike to explore their artistic side while enjoying their meals.
3. Playful Eating Habits - Designing dinner plates that make eating a playful activity can help parents in encouraging their children to try new foods and eat more willingly.
Industry Implications
1. Tableware Manufacturing - Tableware manufacturers can explore the opportunity of incorporating interactive features into their products to meet the growing demand for interactive dining experiences.
2. Children's Toy Industry - The toy industry can tap into the market of food-related creative play by developing interactive dinner plates and accessories that encourage children to engage with their meals and explore their imagination.
3. Food & Beverage Industry - Restaurants and food companies can leverage the trend of playful eating habits by creating unique dining experiences that incorporate interactive dinnerware, appealing to both children and adults.
