DISCOVERY DISH

Abstract

The left quarter-section of this three-section silicone dish is opened to reveal a hidden compartment in which a motivational reward is placed. The compartment is covered with a lid, which sits down into the left quarter-section and then acts as a serving surface for a meal item that proves most challenging for a child to eat, i.e. vegetables, protein, unfamiliar food, etc. When food is consumed from the surface of the compartment lid, the lid can be lifted out and the reward retrieved.

Claims

1. Children's plate with a hidden compartment that opens to reveal a reward, once obstacle is removed from compartment lid.

2. The material is non-toxic food-safe silicone, the only surprise plate made with this. The material is soft, durable and flexible to reduce breakage and harm if contact is made with people.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0008] Various embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the following description and accompanying drawings.

[0009] FIG. 1 Illustrates a topographic view of Discovery Dish.

[0010] FIG. 2 Illustrates an underside view of Discovery Dish.

DESCRIPTION

[0011] The silicone plate (2) is similar to other children's plates on the market, with the exception of the hidden compartment that this invention has. As shown in the drawings, the compartment takes up about a quarter of the space available on the plate, large enough for treats, fruit, candy, notes, etc. The lid (4) covers the compartment, and acts as a serving surface for the meal. Once the meal is consumed, the lid can be removed so that the child discovers what the treat is. Both pieces (2,4) fit together so they are flush, hiding the presence of the compartment when the lid is installed. This helps seal the compartment from meal moisture while also making it more difficult for the treat to be obtained without first consuming the meal.
