Instead of getting kids to look at a mountain of food that they'd rather not eat at all on a regular plate, the Dinner Winner Kids Plate is broken down into [little compartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pets-snack-tray) that show off encouraging phrases after all of the food inside of it has been eaten. The dinner plate is almost set up like a [board game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-vs-burrito), which makes eating eat all the food on your plate more like playtime instead of mealtime. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Gamification in Mealtime:** Opportunity for incorporating gamified elements into meal plates to make eating fun and engaging for children. - **Encouraging Healthy Eating Habits:** Opportunity to use rewarding phrases and positive reinforcement to encourage children to finish their meals and eat healthier. - **Interactive Mealtime Experiences:** Opportunity to create interactive and engaging mealtime experiences that stimulate children's interest in food and make eating more enjoyable. ### Who This Affects Most - **Children's Tableware Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in creating innovative and gamified meal plates designed specifically for children. - **Food and Beverage Industry:** Opportunity to collaborate with children's tableware brands to develop healthier and more appealing food options for kids. - **Toy Industry:** Opportunity to integrate game-like elements into meal plates and collaborate with tableware brands to create interactive and educational eating experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Honest Mealtime Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guaranteed-to-be-eaten-by-kids.md) - [Table Manners-Teaching Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-tableware.md) - [Coordinated Children-Focused Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tableware-bundle-for-children.md) - [Child Meal Planners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/picky-eaters.md) - [Memory Challenging Food Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/match-up-memory-game-snack-pack.md) - [Food-Inspired Children’s Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noodle-knockout-fine-motor-game.md) - [Eco Fast Food Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cool-kids-meal.md) - [Fast Casual Kids Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freddys-kids-meals.md) - [Veggie-First Children's Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lil-gourmets.md)
