I have two small children. They each eat 3 meals a day with snacks inbetween. The usage of utensils is few and far between around here, and when used, food usually goes flying from overzealous use of a spoon, or someone gets stabbed in the cheek with a fork. Did I just admit that out loud?
Solution: Tinytongs. Yep, that's right, little-people sized tongs. Ahhh, I'm breathing easier already. These things are awesome. Easy to grip for a toddler, and even easier for them to use. Here are just a few of its features:
- Non-toxic, dishwasher safe, lead-free, phthalate-free, BPA-free
- Ergonomic shape for a child
- Free of sharp edges for a tactile feel
GET YOUR OWN!! (with a coupon!) Tinytongs can be purchased on their website for $7.99 each. Use code smr20 to receive a 20% discount.

ReplyDeleteI love all the cute colors! My oldest son, who is almost 2, thinks it's funny when he drops his food off his utensil on the table. Then he says "doggy" and proceeds to eat it off the table like a dog. I can assure you I never thought I'd let my kids eat like that. I have to admit, that while it's not good manners, it is kind of cute!

ReplyDeleteI love that they can be thrown in the dishwasher!!!

Posable grip ends? I'm curious how that would work or if they would end up getting all bent out of shape and not work.

I feel so bad when my little one (15 months) tries SO HARD at using a spoon, but doesn't seem to quite get it. BUT I do think she would get these tinytongs. I love how cute they look too. I also think the posable grip end is genius.

Those are pretty cool.......My son picked up using utensils pretty easily, but I think he would love these. He often pretends that his spoon and fork are diggers or other grabber trucks, so he would enjoy using those!
ReplyDeleteI love that they are BPA free, lead free AND dishwasher safe.
ReplyDeleteI love their awesome colors!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea. My three year old loves to eat with chopsticks, fixed so he can use them. These would be great!

I think my daughter would have so much fun using these. She wants to do it herself sooo badly (at 13months, geesh) but I can't let her have a fork yet. This would substitute nicely!

I like how tiny the "fork" part of the tongs are!!
ReplyDeleteMy almost one year-old is already wanting to use a spoon/fork, and you can only imagine what a mess that is! These tiny tongs would be a GREAT transition 'tool'...love them!

My kids are beyond this age, but I work in early intervention. These would be great for the kids (birth to 3) that I work with to help with fine motor skills.

ReplyDeleteMy daughter always wants to eat with her fingers, this would make her happy.

Dishwashwer safe is, obviously, a great feature. I like the fact that they look easy to throw in a zip-loc bag and then into the diaper bag for meals on the road! The price is pretty groovy, too! Great find.....

My 17-month old would get lots of use out of this right now, since we're between feeding him & him being able to use utensils!
