The Boon Benders Adaptable Utensils are perfect for beginning utensil users and for slightly older children as well because they can be adjusted to fit your child s level of motor skill development. A sharper angle is better for children who are just beginning to learn to use a fork and spoon and the straight adjustment helps advanced utensil users get ready for regular utensils. The soft and comfortable handles are easy for little hands to grasp and the utensils are dishwasher safe.
