There’s a great new coupon available for $1/1 Dole Fruit Bowls in Sugar Free Gel. Find a good sale, especially a BOGO or super doubles event, and you should be able to get these for a real bargain!
We were recently sent a variety of Dole Fruit Bowls to try. While I wouldn’t normally buy prepackaged fruit of this sort (one 4-pack won’t even feed all of my kids), I will buy these again in the future if for no other reason than they got my ultra-picky 3-year-old daughter to actually eat!
She loved the little just-her-size cups — giving her small bowls just doesn’t have the same effect. For the fruits in juice, I just open the package a tiny bit and drain the juice so she can eat them as a finger food.
BONUS: I’ve got four coupons good for a FREE Dole Fruit Bowls in Sugar Free Gel that I’d love to share with four of my readers.
Just leave a comment sharing your favorite way to entice a picky eater to actually eat! I’ll close the comments at noon EST on Tuesday, October 6th and select four comments at random.

My mom taught me that if you cut something up fine enough, no one will know that it’s in it. I used this philosophy with my ulta-picky son. He loved brown and wild rice, but hated meat. I used my food grinder and chopped the daylights out of the meat before mixing it into his rice. He never knew it was in there.

We make up silly names for foods…or we will tell our kids how good whatever they are eating is for there body. for some reason those two things seem to work.

Believe it or not my kid will eat anything as long as their is brocoli involved so not to bad but brocoli everynight gets boring to me

My boy loves string cheese and yogurt as long as it’s fun to eat (in tubes or crush cups).

For my 2.5-yr-old nephew…. zone him out with a Thomas & Friends episode and he’ll eat anything we put in his mouth!!

Make food fun for your kids! Play with your food! I always tell my son to pretend that broccoli are little trees and mini carrots are little cars that drive around (and if sometimes they drive right into his mouth then its totally worth it!) My husband likes to pretend that carrots give our son super-powered sight… And as always dips help everything!

I make my 3 year olds food “pretty”. I make little shapes, or smiley faces, and he thinks its funny to destroy it while he’s eating!
