Through the use of an Eating Arc, Smart Steps addresses the various ways in which parents load their toddlers’ plates with food at mealtime and offers specific product solutions from one of three categories:

Knowing Portions, Exploring Food, and Serving Myself. Each category is centered on basic principles that help nurture healthy eating habits and align with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) guidelines related to toddler feeding.

Smart Steps is a proud partner in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s  MyPyramid.gov Corporate Challenge and Project M.O.M., which are dedicated to improving family nutrition, ending childhood obesity and transforming the way American families eat.
