10/10

Was lucky enough to be given a set to review. My first impression was wow so cool they had cute little slightly curved handles and this really assisted in helping my two year old son eat his dinner tonight as normally I would turn around and he would be using his finger like a spoon to eat his mashed potato as he has trouble holding a normal teaspoon but tonight he was over the moon that he got to be like his sisters and have a fork as well and was having a blast stabbing his food and picking it up he was going “look I did it”.
These are a great little set and they look very well made and the fact they come in all different colours makes it fun for kids to learn how to use cutlery and it was awesome to see how happy my son was when he could feed himself properly without any help from me or my husband another great product from Tommee Tippee

LOVE these… we got some for our son at 19mths, although he doesn’t use the knife yet (he is 20mths now). You can get them from the supermarket – not that cheap, but they last really well and kids love using them. They can be washed in the dishwasher too.
My friend has some for her daughter which she used as a child (now 32yrs old) – impressive huh!
.
We had a set of each of these for the twins and they are STILL going strong, despite being used almost every day.
Other cutlery sets just don’t last anywhere near as long as these do and I love that it has the finger guides to encourage the child to hold their cutlery correctly. Something my older children didn’t do for a while.
I would give these a 10/10 – in fact have given them as gifts in the past because I think they’re so awesome

I love WOW toys…they’re bright, made to the excellence we have come to know and trust,  and they all encourage our children to use their imaginations.
I love that there are no batteries needed for this because it can get really expensive for toys these days. Plus it means that the child can open the box and play with the toy straight away.
