Make-a-Meal Sticker Pad

Melissa & Doug Make-a-Meal Sticker Pad puts kids in charge of the menu! With more than 225 food and beverage stickers and 15 colorful place-setting pages, children can build everything from balanced breakfasts and hearty dinners to delightfully silly meals piled high with their favorite treats.

Kids simply choose a place setting and start filling the plate with foods from every food group. The activity includes 15 background pages in three different designs—a picnic table, cafeteria, and fancy dinner setting- giving children plenty of opportunities to create different meals, pretend to run a restaurant, and invent their own food-themed stories.

Designed for ages 3 and up, this extra-large sticker activity pad combines imaginative, screen-free play with opportunities to practice fine motor skills and creative expression. The realistically sized place settings make pretend restaurant play even more engaging, while the pages tear out cleanly for easy sharing during classroom, camp, after-school, or at-home activities.

Build the Perfect Meal—or the Silliest One!

There’s no recipe to follow here. Kids can create a meal they might actually eat, experiment with foods from different food groups, or forget the rules completely and serve up a plate filled with desserts.

With more than 225 food and beverage stickers to choose from, every child can create something different. The three place-setting designs also help transform a simple sticker activity into imaginative restaurant, cafeteria, picnic, and dinner-table play.

Selecting, peeling, positioning, and arranging the stickers adds a hands-on fine motor component to the activity. Melissa & Doug specifically identifies fine motor skills, creative expression, and imaginative play among the developmental benefits of the Make-a-Meal Sticker Pad.
