I always let my kids make a mess with their food. As soon as they could sit in a high chair and I didn't have to worry about food choking hazards I let them use their hands! Then when they could sit better they always moved to the real dining room table to sit with the family. I think they enjoyed that the most! Yes, it was messy but a mess can always be cleaned up! They are only little once so let them go crazy.

Until my kids were about 2 years old, we let them feed themselves but I definitely supervised and made sure they ate different things.

I don't mind a mess for a while. A drop cloth , if needed, a big big and wash clothes. Or maybe call the dog. they can do it all by themselves.
