(Don’t) Play With Your Food

I really like the playful concept of the Dont Play With Your Food embossed plates, by graphic designer Jamie Weick. Description:

“The aim of this project was to inspire some creativity in a wholly ‘domestic’ situation. Seeing how children love to play with their food I decided to create a pair of plates for adults and children alike to spark their imagination at the dinner table.

Simple embossed features turn the plates into templates allowing the user to use their food as facial features - turning the act of eating into something engaging, rather than the passive act of shoveling food. Remaining gravy or sauce allows the faces to remain long after the food has been eaten, giving younger children a further incentive to clean the plate.”
