Editor’s Note, November 2018: For our most up-to-date story on awesome utensils and tools for kids mealtime, click here for our most recent coverage.

 

You chop their food into little pieces. You’ve had food flung at your head. You spend a good portion of your time wiping down the floors, walls, and cabinets. Are you: A) the lead nutritionist at a zoo, or B) the parent of a toddler during meal times? Assuming the answer is in fact, B, then perk up, buttercup! We’ve got a dynamite list of tools to help make “feeding times” easier for you and more fun for the wild things in your life.

When you're learning to feed yourself, could there be anything harder than chasing a pea across a flat plate with a spoon? Give the kid a break and stock up on Oogaa's brightly-colored silicone bowls, with shallow sides that make chasing slippery suppers a breeze. The best part? These bowls are dishwasher, microwave, freezer and oven safe, which makes them a parent's best friend, too. And, while we're bananas for their bowls, we also love their entire mealtime sets, which come with a bowl plus matching plane and train spoons.

Available online at amazon.com
$9.99 for a single bowl, $29.97 for a mealtime set.
