How to make mealtime more fun | Funbites Review

March 22, 2012 By Emily 10 Comments

 

With a busy almost 3 year old who is easily distracted, making meal time fun is a great way to ensure my son is going to have a full belly!  Almost as important are products that help me make better use of my time.  The last thing I want to do is sit in the kitchen preparing food.  While I like to cook, I hate spending too much time doing it!

Recently I discovered funbites, and was thrilled to get to check it out!  This brand new product is designed with food lovers young and old, and being only 3 months old has already been featured on CBS Morning Show, Parenting.com, and in Real Simple Magazine!

How It Works

funbites® is the first state of the art kitchen tool that instantly cuts kids’ food into BITE-SIZED FUN SHAPED PIECES.  funbites® is 100% MADE IN THE USA.  They are perfect to get even the pickiest eaters to try something new and eat healthier.  Make lunchtime more fun and create a funbites® Bento lunch!

Choose your favorite funbites® pack in Cube It! or Luv It! Each pack includes it’s own cutter with curved blades that quickly cuts food into small bites and a matching popper that instantly pops! out the fun-shaped pieces so hands are clean, food is untouched.  Use on any kid-friendly food from pancakes, fish, cheese, and bread to waffles, watermelon and burgers! Start with a flat surface and let the magic begin!

How fun do these simple ideas for kid’s plates look?  Who wouldn’t want to eat this?

Our Review

We received the Luv it! heart pop mold in the mail.  While the list of things to use it with is endless, I decided to try it on my son’s current favorite go-to meal.  AB&J!!

A little almond butter, and jam, some whole grain bread… and voilà!

The funbites tool is really easy to use!  Just follow these simple steps!

Step 1: Place funbites® cutter on top of food. Remove popper top and set to the side.

Step 2: Grab cutter handles on both sides, press down firmly and rock 5-6 times to cut through the food.

Step 3: Lift the cutter up, insert popper top and pop out the bite-sized pieces!

Squishy thought the heart was super fun.  He especially liked that he could play with it, and the smaller hearts!

Clean up can be done by hand, or in the top rack of the dishwasher.  With the almond butter we had to do a bit of both.

Overall, I really liked it.  It was basic and easy to use.  I wasn’t thrilled with the clean up time with the almond butter and jam, but that is sticky no matter what utensil you use!

It really did make meal time a little more fun. I can’t wait to use it on something for holidays or birthdays!  Who doesn’t need more hearts in their lives?  I also will be purchasing the square pop mold.  I think that would be perfect for everyday use!

    What a great idea. I love the fact that it uses most of the bread so there’s little to no waste. It sure beats having to manually cut up each meal!
