About

Dancing Plate

Features
Read full description

Dancing Plate is a tool for parents that helps children eat healthier and more varied meals, through play instead of pressure. Snap a photo of your child's plate, and our technology turns each food into a friendly character your child can meet and get curious about. No bribes, no battles, just a new way in. Built for parents of young children, Dancing Plate helps you: • ⁠Get more variety on the plate. When the broccoli, the carrot, and the tomato become characters, new foods feel like an invitation rather than a demand. • Take the pressure off mealtimes. The characters do the inviting, so you don't have to. You move from enforcer to partner. •⁠ ⁠Keep it positive, always. No calorie counting, no portion tracking, no "clean your plate". Every food your child meets earns a cheer, and nothing is ever marked as a failure. •⁠ See the progress. Simple insights show how your child's food variety grows over time, across fruits, veggies, and protein, so you can celebrate what's working. •⁠ Keep it playful between meals. Open the Play area together for calm, educational games about recognizing foods, sorting them into groups, and building a balanced plate. Whether your child sticks to the same few foods or is just starting to explore, Dancing Plate helps you build healthy, varied eating habits that last. Positive reinforcement only, one meal at a time. No ads, no data sold. Meal photos are used to recognize the foods on the plate. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
