Toddlers: Utensils

Home | Pregnancy | After Delivery | Babies | Toddlers | Preschoolers | Family

Plates And Bowls




Choose small plastic containers with lids when you first start your baby on solids.

Buy a lot of containers and make sure they are suitable for the microwave, freezer and dishwasher.

 

If your child starts throwing his/her dinner on the floor, try bowls with suction cups on the bottom.

Once your child is past the food-throwing phase, you can buy larger bowls and plates made out of tough plastic.

Plastic dishes are durable, bright and dishwasher-safe. Make sure the edges are dull as well. And remember, many toddlers prefer plates and bowls which have separate compartments so foods don't mix.
