Any parent who has started weaning with their baby will know what it's like to spend their days cleaning the floor after breakfast, lunch and dinner. And once their child begins to learn how to feed himself, mealtimes are about constantly bending down to retrieve lost spoons and plates.
There are quite a few devices on the market which aim to make dinners a more pleasureable experience, but we love this Stay-Put Cutlery + Bowl set from Ezee-reach.
Whilst many bowls come with rubbery bottoms to make them less slippy on tabletops, this bowl has a suction action. PLUS the little soft-ended fork and spoon which come with the set have their own suction pads so they can be used separately or together with the dinner set.
The set makes small children instantly want to mimic their parents, and before long they are confidently (if a little messily) feeding themselves.
It's a simple little product and you can buy more cutlery separately in case your darling child does manage to prise it off the table and hides it somewhere!
Although the dish, spoon and fork are not dishwasher safe, they are not difficult to wash. (They should not be put into a steriliser, but beyond six months, all items except milk bottles and milk-related items, can just be thoroughly washed without sterilising.)
The starter set includes the bowl, spoon and fork and has an RRP of £8.95. For more about the products and stockists, call 01293 774 924, or visit www.bibsandstuff.com.
