Silicone Feeding Spoon / Fork
Silicone Baby Feeding Spoons
Our silicone feeding spoon/fork is ideal for parents in Australia who are introducing self-feeding techniques and perfect for babies and toddlers who are becoming more independent at mealtimes.
This silicone utensil is strong enough to be used as a spoon or fork. Children can use the giraffe head to scoop up the food like a spoon, and the legs to grab their food like a fork.

Ready, Set, Go!
How do you know when your child is ready to start on solid foods and begin using their new, favourite giraffe-shaped utensil? Experts say to wait until your baby is ready, which can be around the 6-month mark, maybe slightly before or after.
The first foods should be smooth or mashed into soft pieces and then transition to minced or chopped foods – all of which can be eaten using our silicone spoon/fork hybrid.

Tips for Self-Feeding and Why it’s Worth the Mess
There are so many benefits when it comes to self-feeding. Your child will:
- Gain independence whilst feeding
- Develop great hand-eye coordination skills
- Develop fine motor skills, such as grasping, lifting, and scooping
- Learn to use their mouths and breathe through the nose accordingly
- Learn to persist in the face of stimulating motor tasks
- Be empowered to determine how much food they eat
