How Bright Colours Boost Mealtime Moods!
🎨 Colour Psychology for Kids: How Bright Colours Boost Mealtime Moods!
Have you ever noticed how a splash of colour can instantly lift your mood or make a space feel more welcoming? For children, colour does so much more than just catch the eye—it can influence emotions, behaviours, and even how much they enjoy their meals.
At Henni & Friends, we know the magic that colour brings to the table. That’s why our brightly coloured melamine plates, bowls, and cups are designed to turn everyday mealtimes into joyful, engaging experiences.
Why Colours Matter for Kids
Kids are naturally curious and respond to colour with excitement. Research shows that certain colours can influence children’s emotions, behaviour, and willingness to try new things—including food!
Our colourful plates, bowls and cups aren’t just cute—they’re tools for creating positive associations with food, making mealtime more enjoyable (and less of a battle).
Boosting Appetites with the Right Colours
Colour doesn’t just change the mood—it can also change the appetite. Warm colours like red, orange, and yellow are known to stimulate hunger and promote feelings of comfort.
Take our Flamingo Pink plate and bowl set, for example—it’s fun, vibrant, and can help encourage picky eaters to give new foods a go.
Cool colours like blue and green create a sense of calm, helping kids settle down and focus during mealtime. Our range includes both warm and cool tones, giving your little one the perfect balance of stimulation and serenity.
Encouraging Independence with Bright Dinnerware
Children love having their own special things—and that includes their own plates, bowls, and cups. When kids feel ownership over their dinnerware, they’re more likely to engage in mealtime and practise independence.
Our melamine dinnerware is made for little hands: lightweight, sturdy, and oh-so-easy to hold. The bright colours inspire confidence and make self-feeding feel like fun, not work.
Colours and Learning at Mealtime
Mealtimes aren’t just about eating—they’re a chance to learn and explore.
Use colourful plates and bowls to teach:
- Colour recognition (“Can you find the green peas on your blue plate?”)
- Counting and sorting (“Let’s count the strawberries in your bowl!”)
- Imaginative play (“Your broccoli forest needs a tomato sun!”)
Every meal becomes a moment of discovery with Henni & Friends.
Safe, Fun, and Colourful Meals
Parents need peace of mind, and kids need plates that can keep up with their energy. That’s why all our melamine plates, bowls, and cups are:
- Durable for real-life use

- Dishwasher-safe for everyday convenience
- And colourful enough to bring smiles every single day
