Using utensils can be tricky (and frustrating), but this-kid-friendly silverware makes self-feeding easier. What's different: a soft, rubbery handle — with raised rings — that allows for easier gripping! Feels good to hold, and kids approve of the utensils' colorful stripes. A great aid for beginners and kids with special needs. Cutlery Set includes fork, spoon, and knife, all with safe, rounded edges. Dishwasher safe. For ages 3 and up. See Product Details

Comments about The Pencil Grip Gripables 3-Piece Cutlery Set Blue:
Great quality for the price. Perfect size for my twenty four month old. Easy to grip and lightweight.
Great bridge to real silverware

About Me Avid Cook
My 3 year old and 1 1/2 year old sons both love the feel and weight of these silverware pieces, and I think it's great to give kids a safe knife to get used to using it. I ordered one set for each of them and will probably order two more!

Great quality, but the knife is useless
By AMT
from Silver Spring, MD
My son is almost three, and is both too big for most of the toddler cutlery available in stores, but too small to easily use adult-sized cutlery. These are a great in-between option. They're larger than most of the toddler silverware we have, and he loves the grip. I'm not sure what a toddler really could use the knife for, so it just sits in our drawer. Instead, I would love to see a pack of a few forks and a few spoons.
Very cute
By Mom of 3
from Atlanta, GA
It's a bummer that the pink set isn't pictured. We bought it for our 22 month old daughter and she loves it. It's a light pink and she feels like a big girl now with her new utensils. Very durable and easy-to-use with the grip handles. Highly recommend!
GOOD

Great for Toddlers

About Me First Time Parent
Our son has been using the silverware with the really big handles but they are getting awkward and they fork doesn't pick anything up. He can use these and they are much more like 'regular' silverware. Having the knife is great because now he can 'be like Mommy & Daddy'. We are going to get more.
My kids really like these

Easy to grip. They love the idea of being able to have a knife they are allowed to touch, but it isn't sharp so it is not too easy for a beginner to cut with.
good and bad

The fork and spoon are wonderful. The knife is worthless.[...]Handles could be a little shorter.
Great set for Toddler+
By BEC
from Jackson, WY
Like this set alot- great for our 2 y/o. The bowl of the spoon actually holds liquid b/c it isn't flat, and the fork actually picks things up b/c the tines are somewhat pointed (pet peeves of mine with other utensils). These are larger than alot of utensils, so will grow with our kids nicely (probably not the best set for young toddler just learning to use utensils). Son isn't using a knife yet, but it's nice to have a complete set for when he is.

About Me Parent of Multiples (Twins etc)
The grips are perfect on these utensils. My kids (2 1/2 years old) have the easiest time with these... and we've tried many. What I like best is that my kids aren't putting their food on plastic, which I don't trust, BPH-free or otherwise. I always think it's ridiculous to include a knife in these sets. Kids don't and can't use them. They're a total waste, but it seems that every company that sells utensil sets include the knife Personally, I think it would be smarter for the company to replace the knife with a larger spoon for soup.

Nice Upgrade from Plastic
By CB
from Princeton, NJ
This set is a nice upgrade from the plastic utensils we started with. They are easy for my daughter to grip and they are porportionally sized to allow her to use them well. I haven't tried the knife yet -- she's only 15 months -- but it should make a good introduction to cutting food down the road.

I would buy this product again
By susieq
from Newtown, CT
I bought these for my niece ( my son is only 1 year old and still uses his hands). My niece loves having a full set of utensils at EVERY meal and it is very hard to find toddler knives...this was a great find and reasonable price. We throw these in the dishwasher to clean and they hold up very well!! Great buy!!
