BABY SAFE MATERIALS: Food grade silicone that's gentle on gums and the spoon has a texture in the back that's great for when she's teething to scrape/loosen her gums. SELF-FEEDING: It's fantastic for eye/hand coordination and motor skills too! Intended for Stage 1 of Baby-led Weaning - Introducing the concept of holding utensils and feeding yourself. PERFECT DESIGN: The handle is short with a textured spoon. The baby knows which side goes in the mouth. The bulb at the end is just big enough for baby's little hands to hold on to and the soft silicone is ideal for their sensitive teeth and stimulates gums SAFETY: Lots of ridges for easy holding and a choke guard to prevent the baby from putting them down their throat and causing an accident. These are really cute teething spoons!
