A shield is disclosed which attaches to a high chair tray for the purpose of preventing the high chair occupant from displacing food over the front and sides of the high chair tray. The shield has a wall which partially encompasses the eating surface of the high chair tray, around the edges of the tray. The wall serves to block disposal of food over the front and sides of the tray. The shield also has fasteners which allow the wall to be removably coupled to the high chair tray and which prevents the shield from being easily dislodged from the tray.
