MyPlate Game Learning Resources

My Review: Today we are reviewing the “Healthy Helpings™ A MyPlate Game” from Learning Resources for all of you. This game set is made for children ages 4 and up and in grades K and up. The object of the game is to be the first person to fill up your plate with a well-balanced meal! If you choose your food and beverage options wisely, you can win! The game is best suited for 2 to 4 players.

The Game Set Includes: 4 placemats (game boards), 50 food cards, game spinner and a guide with food group facts.

I first want to state, Little G is a little over 3 years of age and with our help and guidance, she was able to play this game with us. So, if you have an advanced 3 year old, this game would be fine with them!

We sat down one afternoon to try out the game with Little G and we had 3 adult players and of course, her. It took me a few minutes to get the game set up and to read over the instructions. The concept of the game is really easy to understand and something that young kids can grasp quite quickly.

MyPlate Game Learning Resources

We all took turns spinning the spinner and taking our turns. As I previously stated, Little G is 3 years old so we did have to help her. With that said, it was funny to see what she considered a healthy meal to be. While this game is fun to play, it is educational for both children and adults! I learned a lot about healthy meals by just playing the game with her.

Your placemat (game board) has 5 sections on it that the player needs to fill up. There is a Fruits, Grains, Vegetables, Protein and Dairy section. Since little G loves fruits and grains, she was really going after those hahaha! We had a great time playing this game with her and will continue to play the game with her so that she learns about healthy foods and healthy eating. Kids learn best when they are having fun and this game is definitely fun! yeah!

You can purchase the Learning Resources Healthy Helpings: A Myplate Game directly from Amazon for a great price.

Play Dishes from Learning Resources

My Review: Today I am reviewing the New Sprouts Serve It! My Very Own Dish Set from Learning Resources. This play dishes set is for kid’s ages 2+ and comes with 24 pieces. Everything in this set is perfectly sized for toddler hands are made from durable hard plastic.

The Dishes Set Includes:

4 green square shaped plates, 4 round purple bowls, 4 blue tumbler cups, 4 orange knives, 4 orange forks and 4 orange spoons. (other items shown in my pictures are not included).

The dishes are larger than most other kid’s play dishes which is really nice! I love that they are made of durable plastic as I can wipe them down when dirty and disinfect them after play time.

I gave this dish set to my grand-wee-one who is 3 years old and loves to play “house” with her pretend kitchen. She is always cooking up something for Pappy and I to try and I knew she would love this set. She already has a play food set from Learning Resources (also shown in my photos) so this dish set was just the perfect addition.

Everything in this set is high-quality and made to last for years. It can stand up to the heavy duty wear that children put their toys through so you have no worries there. I love sets like this as they are fabulous for inspiring our kids with creative play and it teaches them the necessary skills that they will need later in life.

Grand-Wee-One loves her new dishes and I know your children would love them too!
