Skip Hop Besties Squad Silicone Plate - Purple

Getting a toddler to stay at the table long enough to finish a meal is a problem that has exactly one reliable solution: make eating feel like their idea. The Skip Hop Besties Squad Silicone Plate in Purple is designed around that insight. Naturally slip-resistant so it stays put on the table without suction drama, microwave safe for quick reheating between first and third requests for the same meal, and made from 100% food-grade silicone that doesn't crack, stain, or hold odours the way plastic does. Hidden signature Skip Hop illustrations sit at the bottom of the plate, visible once the food is finished - a small incentive that consistently works on 2-year-olds. Dishwasher safe. Built to last years of daily use.

Why silicone beats plastic for a plate that lasts

Plastic plates crack, stain, and warp in the dishwasher. The Besties Squad Silicone Plate is 100% food-grade silicone, which solves all three problems in one material choice. It won't crack if dropped, won't hold the colour of tomato-based sauces over weeks of use, and comes out of the dishwasher cycle without warping or shrinking. The naturally slip-resistant base means it doesn't require a suction base to stay on the table - the silicone itself provides friction against a flat surface. At 17.78 x 17.78 cm, it's the right size for a toddler meal without being the plate that takes over the entire high chair tray.

The hidden illustration: a mealtime incentive that works

There's a signature Skip Hop illustration at the bottom of the plate, hidden under the food. When the meal is done, the illustration is revealed - a small payoff that turns finishing what's on the plate into a discovery moment rather than a standoff. It's not a magic solution to toddler eating, but it's the kind of design detail that makes a real difference for the 2-5 age range when mealtime cooperation is negotiable. The Purple plate coordinates with the Besties Squad Fork and Spoon Set and Silicone Bowl in Purple, so the full table setting has a consistent theme.

Practical details for daily use

Microwave safe means you can reheat directly on the plate without transferring food to another container - and without the safety concerns that come with putting plastic in a microwave. The dishwasher safe rating means no hand-washing after every meal. The slip-resistant base means you're not chasing the plate across the high chair tray while also managing a spoon. These are small things that add up over the hundreds of meals a toddler eats in the years from 2 to school age. The plate is also sized appropriately: at 17.78 cm across, it's large enough for a full meal without being an adult-sized plate a small child feels they need to fill.
