The Self-Feeding Journey: A Guiding Path

Introducing the Utensil as a Teether: Begin the self-feeding journey by first introducing the stage one pre-spoon (with raised textures) to your child. This allows them to get accustomed to holding the utensil as they soothe their sore gums. They'll love chewing on both sides thanks to the soft silicone!

Helping Them Succeed: Once your toddler shows signs of wanting to self-feed, pre-load the stage one GOOtensil with food and place it on their Beginner Bowl or in their hand. When they're ready for a larger amount of food, upgrade to stage two.

The Magic of Self-Feeding: GOOtensils make learning to self-feed a fun and frustration-free experience. There's no wrong way to hold them - all your child has to do is dip and eat! Designed with a thicker, contoured handle, they fit comfortably in a child's hand.

Introducing Utensils: After your child is able to sit unassisted and hold their head up, utensils may be introduced. It's best to begin once they've expressed an interest in self-feeding, which can happen as early as 6 months, though most kids are truly ready between 10 to 14 months.

Positive Reinforcement: The cone-shaped interior of the Beginner Bowl guides the food to one easy-to-find spot at the bottom, making it easier for your little one to find and enjoy every bite with less waste. A positive, rewarding experience encourages exploration and results in more positive feeding behaviors, while a difficult, frustrating experience can lead to challenges like picky eating.

Versatile Usage: GOOtensils can be used with a range of foods, from purees to soft foods like potatoes, yogurt, home blends, and oatmeal. The stage two utensil can even be loaded with solids for the child to grab and eat.

Wrist Rotation Development: Wrist rotation is a major motor skill that unlocks scooping and balancing, allowing a child to properly use a spoon. This usually occurs around their second birthday. Signs your child is ready to graduate to a spoon include scooping around the corners of a bowl and successfully maneuvering the spoon to their mouth with more food.
