Product Information

There is nothing more exciting for a toddler than graduating from their soft baby spoon to their very own set of big-kid cutlery. The best toddler utensils offer young eaters the first step towards independence at the dinner table with thoughtfully designed features to make eating easier as they learn how to master scooping, spearing, and getting food into their mouths.

Helpful Review: “My toddler absolutely loves her spoons and forks. The squared shape of the spoons makes them the perfect size to fit in her mouth and they are really easy for her hands to hold. The depth of them allows her to feed herself without dropping any of her food on route to her mouth. The forks are also really easy for her to use and for perfectly in her mouth without being too big.”

Tips for everyday activities

Corinna Laurie, Clinical Lead Occupational Therapist at National Autistic Society, shares some strategies for developing motor skills. If you find that eating and drinking causes spillage onto your clothes, you may want to consider wearing an apron or bib. There is a large range of designs, some more discreet than others. They are available in disposable plastic or washable/wipeable materials. Consider what is the best fastening system for you, whether the bib/apron pulls over the head, is tied, has a Velcro hook and loop system, a popper, or some other way of fixing.

Angled cutlery, where the cutlery head is positioned at an angle to the handle, may assist people with restricted movement. Swivel cutlery has a pivoting joint between the cutlery head and handle, which can help keep the cutlery head in a horizontal position. Reduced core stability will impact on all motor skills including sitting posture, balance and stamina.Activities to improve core stability include:If you fail to return any VAT exemption forms to us we WILL charge your card for the outstanding VAT. If your fingers are on the large side, be aware that all professional-quality scissors have rubber inserts in the thumb and finger holes, which you can remove if they’re too snug. You should also be able to tighten or loosen the screw in the middle until the tension works best. How can I ensure my scissors last years?

We recommend the Happy as a Bear collection from Villeroy & Boch for enchanting children’s tableware that includes kids' cutlery as well as plates, bowls and cups – all with matching playful motifs that the little ones will love. Elegant kids' utensils in stylish designs Joint hypermobility/low muscle tone - this affects core stability, postural stability, muscle strength and overall stamina. Children’s cutlery must be ergonomic for small hands and fingers so they can be held more safely. For this, eating tools for kids generally have a wide handle that doesn’t slip easily from the hand. Cups and mugs that have an angled or cut-out rim, a lid that regulates the flow of fluid, or an integral straw through the lid may assist a person who has difficulty swallowing and drinking. If you are struggling with caring for yourself, which includes getting enough to eat and drink, consider asking for a health and social care needs assessment. Since the Care Act 2014 came into power in April 2015, anyone who appears to need care and support can request an assessment from their local council, irrespective of their income or savings. The Act also places a statutory duty on local authorities to assist their residents to prevent a deterioration in their health and well-being. The 'prevention' strategies of many local authorities includes the early provision of equipment and services to help prevent, delay or reduce the development of needs for care and support.Kids’ cutlery is a popular gift idea for a baptism or birthday. Engraved kids’ cutlery or with printed motifs from the ZWILLING online shop is of high-quality and meets all the important requirements of a good four-piece set of cutlery.

Playing with dough –squeeze, flatten, cut and roll with scissors, cookie cutters or a garlic press. Encourage them to slow down and think about each stage of cutting separately (e.g., stab with the fork and then saw with the knife). To create a lively table setting for the young ones, choose a set of boldly coloured kids' cutlery. In our assortment, you will be able to find an array of colours.

It is easier to start with softer foods initially, and move to firmer foods gradually. You may also wish to support your child using hand-over-hand to guide them, or assist by holding the fork while they saw with knife. The newly designed knife has a finer edge for more efficient cutting while remaining safe to use. The fork has been redeveloped with slender, elegant 'tines' and the spoon now also features a finger indent for better control. This cutlery helps those with a weaker grip. Insulated cups and mugs help maintain the temperature of the drink and may also be useful for a person with reduced sensation in their hands as the outer surface stays cool.
