I am a childminder, I had to keep children in difficult appetite. The only way I've found to make them eat with pleasure is to make them do their meal! It is so simple to use that a child of two and a half years have done its rice balls stuffed. It is en suite threw it to devour! It's fun, easy to use, easy to clean and plastic is excellent! The hole to stuff the rice balls, that's an idea !! I recommend!
