AS we’re sure all mums will agree, trying to convince your little one to eat all their vegetables (and not just chips) can be a daily battle.
Well if you’re at a loss over how to get your child to eat balanced meals, you might want to give Poundland’s new kid-friendly plates a go.
The £1 plastic plates are divided into three sections to reflect how a balanced meal should look.
Half of the plate is made up “loads of veg” while the other two quarters are devoted to carbs and protein.
Raving about the genius idea on Facebook, the mum wrote: “Giving these a try this year – such a good idea for a pound!”
Around the rim of the plate, there are colour-coded illustrations of the food groups that belong in each section – just in case your kids are putting up a real fuss.
Desperate to get her hands on the plates, another user commented: “These look fab – I need to have a look.”
What’s more, other shoppers revealed that they’d been using themselves to keep an eye on their portion sizes.
“I have two,” a third wrote. “They are great for slimming.”
“I’m also giving them a go,” another replied. “To make sure I only eat one person sized portions and not just eating food because I cooked too much.”
