VeggieMat™: An Interactive Placemat That Makes Kids Love Vegetables Is Available on Indiegogo Today
Made of FDA approved food-grade silicone, VeggieMat™ is an interactive placemat with illustrations that kids can fill out with real vegetables.
BERLIN, Nov. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Sick of struggling to get your kids to eat more vegetables or try new foods? No more fuss! VeggieMat™, the first-ever interactive placemat with illustrations that helps children (ages 2-5) discover the joy of eating vegetables by making them more colorful and visually appealing, is now available on Indiegogo.
VeggieMat™ is designed based on four scientific studies to ensure every detail helps kids eat more vegetables. Made of non-toxic, easy-to-clean, food-grade silicone that is FDA approved, it is also dishwasher safe, freezer safe and microwave safe. With VeggieMat™ parents can easily involve their children in the process or preparing their meals.
"About a year ago, while researching a product I was working on, I came across a study exploring the impact of picky eating on a kid's future. After talking to several parents, I realized there was no single thing that makes kids eat more vegetables. So, combining science and real life, I designed a product that is visually appealing, encourages healthy eating, stimulates interest and allows pickier eaters to try new things," said Artiom Dashinsky, product designer of VeggieMat™.
"Adopting healthy eating habits from a young age can have a positive influence on dietary habits later in life. We tested VeggieMat™ with families – both parents and kids loved it! It takes children on a veggie voyage of matching vegetable pieces to shapes and talking about colors. By helping them discover a veggie wonderland, it makes healthy eating fun," said Artiom.
VeggieMat™ is available for pre-order at an early-bird price of $9 per unit on Indiegogo now.
