How to get your kids more involved with cooking dinner
The word is out at playgroups, playgrounds and playdates: kids absolutely love tacos! And who could blame them with the crunchy shells and pick of delicious fillings. Tacos are a fantastic way of getting kids to eat more vegetables and to help them become more open-minded with food, as they love being in control and picking their own taco fillings. These
dino-shaped taco holders take this to a whole new level, adding an element of fun to dinnertime.
My kids are pretty much begging for tacos at least twice a week so they can use their
Triceratacos instead of plates! They make creating and filling tacos easy for little fingers as it stops them falling over or breaking apart.
I think even the adults would benefit from using
Triceratacos for this reason! Each
Tricerataco holds two standard size crunchy tacos upright. We have discovered that they are also excellent for holding soft tacos or burritos.
Triceratacos are so much fun. I have since bought 4 extra to give as birthday gifts. Parents will be happy to receive these instead of yet more toys, as they can really help kids to get more involved with dinner and get excited about filling their tacos.
I’ve found my boys have tried a wider variety of toppings and I’ve been able to sneak tons of extra veggies in this way! Try these fantastic kid friendly all-vegetable taco filling recipes. This means your dinner won’t cost an arm and a leg, either!
Triceratacos are made from food safe polypropylene, and can easily be cleaned in the top rack of the dishwasher.
