Safe children's cutlery & feeding sets for little gourmets

When children start to eat independently, the right cutlery makes all the difference. Child‑friendly knives, forks and spoons have ergonomic shapes, are sized for small hands and are carefully finished. Rounded edges and grippy handles make cutting, spearing and scooping easy. Many sets are made from high-quality stainless steel or durable bio‑plastic and are dishwasher safe. Colourful motifs encourage children to try new foods and turn every meal into a treat. Pair the cutlery with matching plates & bowls and handy drink bottles to create a complete set.

Materials, safety & sustainability

Good children's cutlery is characterised by high-quality materials. Stainless steel 18/10 is durable, rust-free and has no sharp edges. Spoons and forks with rounded tips protect delicate mouths. Handles made from BPA‑free silicone or wood provide a secure grip. Sustainable manufacturers ensure toxin‑free production and use recycled metals or bio‑based plastics. Many sets are brightly coloured to make eating fun. Thanks to child-friendly design, little ones can gradually learn to eat like grown‑ups and develop fine motor skills. Products with a neutral smell and smooth surfaces give parents peace of mind.

Tips for getting started & gift ideas

Learning to eat is an adventure. Start with a three‑piece set: small spoon, fork and knife. Encourage your child to hold the spoon and practise. A non‑slip mat keeps bowls from sliding. It's perfect to give a set together with a lunch box – ideal for snacks on the go. Many sets come in beautiful boxes that make wonderful gifts for christenings, birthdays or as a thoughtful present. Depending on the age, you can add more pieces, such as a larger spoon for soup or a cake server for baking together.

Care, storage & hygiene tips

To keep children's cutlery looking good, wash it regularly. Stainless steel can go in the dishwasher; cutlery with wooden or bamboo handles should be hand‑washed and thoroughly dried. Avoid harsh detergents to protect the finish. Store cutlery in a drawer or caddy so it's protected from dust and children can't reach it unsupervised. For picnics, choose sets in fabric pouches or cases. Everything stays together, and eating in the park is just as enjoyable as at home.
