-The flat plate has sections for those little ones who prefer their food not to touch, or simply portion food groups.  -Made with a suction base to limit dish tossing, along with soft and flexible silicone for safe teething.  WHY WE CHOOSE SILICONE:  -Easy to maintain and clean. -Durability. -Long consumer lifespan. -Planet and child friendly.  -Does not release harmful chemicals and micro plastics. -Doesn't hold on to bacteria. -Can be melted down and recycled for another life.  *Other recycled plastic and bamboo options can seem like the more eco-friendly choice; but when blended with various materials (i.e. suction bottoms) it is harder to recycle and breakdown in landfills. When sticking to one material, recycling and repurposing is easier and safer for our planet.
