Perfect for Tiny Hands
Color: Carrot
These have been a game changer for teaching our toddler how to eat more independently. The size is perfect for tiny hands and the quality is great. We have multiple sets and they have all held up without issue in the dishwasher.

Wonderful!
Color: Bees
I am so impressed with these! They are not too big, not too small, and sturdy! The first fork and spoon my 17 month old son was able to use as intended! I’ve tried a few different silicone baby spoons and forks (some of similar style, and some with longer handles and smaller mouth pieces) and none worked for my son to use on his own with success, unless what he was eating could easily stick itself to the spoon (like oatmeal or yogurt). The handles of these are short enough for him to direct, the mouthpiece is small enough to fit his little mouth, and sturdy enough to pick up his food. He can scoop and skewer most foods and eat without using his hands! I could not recommend enough!

Would reccomend.
Color: Dinosaur
Ready to use for 9month olds who is learning to feed herself. I like the handles of the utensils made with good material that when it is being bit, thrown and sterilized it did not damage. Light weight and I pack it with the container it came with to travel. The spoon and fork sizes are perfect for a small bite. They fit her hands perfectly for her grip.
