21 Examples of Fun Utensils for Kids

From Slingshot Silverware to Construction Site Utensils

— January 14, 2014 — Life-Stages
Getting your kid to eat can be a Herculean task regardless if they're a baby or a little bit older, hopefully these fun utensil ideas can help entice your little one to eat his or her baby food or semi-solids.

The latest phenomena when it comes to encouraging children to eat what's on their plate or to "open wide" (if they're a baby) is making meal time more fun in the hope of getting kids to engage with what they're eating. Companies are designing utensils that are more fun than the boring cutlery you or I grew up with.

Whether it's fingertip utensils, cute animal baby spoons or robotic utensils, today's fun utensils showcase bright colors and creative designs
