I'm not sure about other children that are my daughter's age, but it is the age of independence. Getting dressed (almost) by herself, putting her bag together in the morning, and beyond self-feeding, it's not self-cutting food portions. It's amazing to see the progress of your baby into this little independent creature who doesn't need you for everything any more (enter parental tears here)! A bittersweet moment....
So now that I have a little mini super chef on my hands that wants to help me cook and also cut, scoop, and stab her own food, I had to find the right set of utensils for her. It had to be a perfect combination of safety (no BPAs, lead, or PVC), as well as fun shape or design that would peak my daughter's attention away from our steak knives! Look no further than a brand we've carried since day one: Bambu! To the rescue again with their trademark sustainable, organically grown bamboo, Bambu has created a Kids Cutlery Set that is as cute (really - dinosaur faces on the handles? what could be cuter?!) as it is functional: easy to handle for little hands, smooth texture to create a firm grip, and nothing super sharp. This is the perfect set for my daughter to gain her culinary independence in a safe and organic way. It makes sense since she's helping me cook her food with her own set of Kids Kitchen Tools, that her cutlery set also be made from the same organic bamboo - it's only natural!
