Little Grips: Review and Giveaway

by

hypothesis The toddler utensils from Little Grips (including a fork and spoon) will allow my two year old daughter to be more independent at meal time which creates a more satisfying meal experience for the entire family.

One Little Grips Toddler Eating Utensil Set which includes a fork and a spoon, plus one two year old who is no stranger to mealtime!  About Little Grips:

“Little Grips toddler utensils make toddler feeding-time easy and enjoyable for you and your child. Feeding is made easy with a larger no-choke safety handle that fits easily in the palm of your child’s hands and allows them to use their arms and wrists for better control. Other utensils require finer finger controls that are still undeveloped, creating a frustrating experience for your child.

An ergonomic design that takes advantage of a toddler’s stronger grasping and overall hand–movement skills, while still allowing them to learn proper feeding motions. You will see your child’s confidence build and messiness diminish.”

My two year old daughter, Aubrie is a voracious eater!  She loves mealtime and is usually ready to dive in.  She is my adventurous eater (her five year old sister is the exact opposite), but it is hard to watch her struggle to get the food into her mouth using traditional utensils.  Aubrie is also very independent and does not ask for help at the dinner table often which leaves me watching her drop food time and time again.  Eventually, she gets frustrated and either starts using her fingers, or refuses to eat completely neither of which is an ideal situation.

I was excited to try the Little Grips utensils with Aubrie to see if they made a difference.  At first impression, she was excited about her new fork and spoon because “it look like a strawberry, Mama!”  The handle is red with little bumps and green accents, so she isn’t totally wrong!  She immediately grabbed the fork and dove into her macaroni and cheese.

She did so much better!  The utensils do not have a right or wrong way to hold them, and Aubrie quickly found a grip that worked best for her.  She was able to eat her whole meal unassisted and was a very happy camper!

summary

Because my husband and I work full time, we treasure dinner time with the girls because we can finally sit down together and chat about the day.  When my two year old gets frustrated at the table, the meal quickly becomes a task.  Little Grips allowed her to become more self-sufficient and you could see in her face how proud she was to be a “big girl” like her sister.  At just $10.95 for the set, I think it is well worth it!

  15. I am excited to try these for baby number 2 because I saw the struggle my daughter had learning how to use a fork and spoon and boy would she get frustrated.

  22. I want to try these for my son! He is 2 1/2 years old and still needs help when it comes to eating because it’s so hard for him to use utensils. I’m desperate for him to feed himself!

  23. I would love to try them in my home because they are so cute and would fit my childs hand…

    thanks a bunch

  26. Oh these would be perfect for our 19 month old. With 2 older siblings, he thinks he is SO big and can do everything they can do. However, my floor, his clothes and high chair tell a different story. They are a mess and he’s a mess because he has to feed himself but he probably doesn’t eat half of what we get him. This would help cut down on that mess and teach him at the same time, even when we decides he wants to use his left hand instead of his right.

  80. These look different. I’m always excited to try something a little less ordinary and my messy little eater needs all the help she can get!

  89. My 2 1/2 year old used to do fairly well with small forks and spoons but recently has refused to try them preferring the efficiency (and unfortunately messiness) of her hands. I’d love to let her give these a try.
