A children's tray with a placement indicator includes a tray and a groove/spot formed in the tray to indicate where an eating item (including food, utensils, or dishware) is to be placed. The tray can be mounted, removably or fixedly, to a variety of child support structures, including high chairs, booster seats and bouncers and includes a wall around the periphery intended to prevent items from falling off of the tray. The groove/spot formed in the tray may be formed from of a material having a higher coefficient of friction than the material used to form the tray. The groove/spot formed in the tray may be formed from of a material having a different color than the material used to form the tray.

1. A children's tray, comprising: a first material forming a tray with an upper surface and lower surface; anda target area formed in the upper surface of the tray, wherein the target area provides a placement indicator in the tray, the target area is formed from a second material having a coefficient of friction greater than the coefficient of friction of the first material, the target area is formed without providing gaps between the tray and the target area, and the target area is annular, such that the first material of the tray is disposed interiorly and exteriorly of the target area. 2. A method of manufacturing the children's tray of claim 1, comprising: co-molding the second material with the first material. 3. The children's tray of claim 1, further comprising: an outer wall formed around the periphery of the tray. 4. The children's tray of claim 3, wherein the outer wall is formed from the first material. 5. The children's tray of claim 1, wherein the second material has a different color than the first material to provide the placement indicator. 6. The children's tray of claim 5, wherein the second material is a low-density polyethylene and polypropylene blend. 7. The children's tray of claim 6, wherein the second material is thermoplastic polyolefin elastomer. 8. A children's tray, comprising: a tray formed from a first material, the tray having an upper surface and a lower surface;a placement indicator formed from a second material having a coefficient of friction greater than the coefficient of friction of the first material; andan annular groove formed in the upper surface of the tray configured to receive the placement indicator, wherein the placement indicator is positioned within the groove so that the second material fills the entire groove and eliminates gaps between the tray and the placement indicator. 9. The children's tray of claim 8, wherein the second material is a different color from the first material to provide the placement indicator. 10. The children's tray of claim 8, wherein the placement indicator is circular. 11. The children's tray of claim 8, wherein the placement indicator is a thermoplastic elastomer. 12. A child support structure comprising: a seat having a front portion and a rear portion; anda tray coupleable to the front portion of the seat, the tray comprising: an upper surface and a lower surface formed from a first material; andan annular target area formed in the upper surface of the tray such that there are no gaps between the target area and upper surface, the target area being formed from a second material and the second material having a higher coefficient of friction than the first material, wherein the second material is a different color from the first material such that the second material provides a placement indicator on the upper surface. 13. The child support structure of claim 12, wherein the child support structure is a booster seat. 14. The child support structure of claim 12, wherein the child support structure is a high chair. 15. The child support structure of claim 12, wherein the tray is removably coupleable to the seat. 16. The child support structure of claim 12, wherein the target area is a first target area and the tray further comprises: a plurality of target areas, each target area being filled with the second material, such that the tray provides a plurality of placement indicators. 17. The child support structure of claim 16, wherein each placement indicator is a different color. 18. The child support structure of claim 12, wherein the second material is a thermoplastic elastomer.
