Great forks easy to hold. IOrdered green/blue and got purple/ pink.These have become a repeat purchase for me, as they are my four-year-old’s favorite fork. I have tried numerous brands and styles over the years, and this Nuk version has emerged the winner! They are usually sold only as “assorted colors” in the three-packs on Amazon, so keep that in mind in case you don’t like the excitement of the surprise (read: gamble, if you have a picky child). Fortunately, while I do have a picky child, he also loves all colors, and has been happy with the green, pink, and blue colors in which these forks are made. Phew! That said, I have wound up receiving green most often, pink once, and this most recent time when I ordered two sets at the same time...blue and green! That’s like winning the parent lottery! These forks are at a great price point, and even at the slightly increased recent price, are a great value! That is very much appreciated, since our forks have had a tendency to disappear into abyss of my husband’s car and at my son’s preschool in the past. They are durable, and have held up very well through both hand-washing and dishwasher cleaning, as well as through general toddler use and abuse. No issues with broken or bent fork teeth/prongs, and no issues with rust, discoloration, or separation from handle. My son and I highly recommend these toddler forks!My son likes these forks but we still use plastic spoons. Metal forks are less frustrating for him as it stabs through more food.Easy to use for Babies and toddlers. However, my kids did bite through the rubber eventually on the handle.These are a great “real” fork for toddlers to practice with. We had ezpz forks, and those are probably best to start with, but these are a great next step. They’re easy for small hands to hold, pretty easy to pick food up with, and aren’t too sharp. So far they’ve held up well in the dishwasher. We’ll be purchasing more.I bought these for my grandson who is just learning to fork-it, so he kinda alternates between the paw-and-stuff method and the stab it with the fork. So this rubbery handle doesn't slip and slide in his slimy little clutches. And the big end (blunt tines... i like that, too... he doesn't get to stab the dog), is perfect for grabbing that ravioli and getting it to his mouth with minimal collateral damage. I bought a second set.Why is it so hard to find forks that actually work? My son is 2.5 and we needed real, stab-able (not a word I realize) forks. These do the job perfectly. They're sharp enough to actually pick up food and dishwasher safe. Score! The grip is solid and seems to hold up well.We have used the Boon brand silverware but found those too pricey. I saw other 3-piece sets that I like but really, what toddler needs a knife? And even if/when we want to teach him to use one, I doubt we'll need more than one. All I want are good quality forks at a reasonable price and these are perfect.Somehow, we always wind up losing toddler forks and spoons - they accidentally get thrown away and we have 1 fork and a bunch of infant spoons. This was a great purchase to stock up on forks, with the bonus of being brightly colored so hopefully they don't get thrown away!I ordered these in early May and got the pink ones (as shown in picture). I really didn't care and my son loves them, but I know some people are looking for specific colors. In order to get the Add-On price, you have to be willing to get a random color.Very sturdy and easy for our Littles to useGood forks, my son has just started using a fork on his own and he can handle these pretty well. We got pink so we make sure to have manly stuff surrounding him while he eats - like wrestling and bear skins. You know - so all that awful stuff that can happen when boys touch pink stuff is avoided...(Don't mind that there is 2 in the picture- my son was using one. Lol. I put a standard size beside for relativity. )My son prefers these to any other kids utensils I've tried. But they always came in fork, knife, spoon packs. I just wanted the forks. So it didn't matter these were pink. My son has cibophobia (food phobia from brain cancer and a feeding tube during chemo) so he doesn't eat much, and he isn't great with a fork even though he's almost 5. In 3.5 years, these have been his favourite. He has by far the least difficulty with these. They are the perfect size and are very sturdy. My other set was bought in 2012- still going strong.We have been using these forks with my son for a few months as he learns to eat. They seem very strong and durable, and we wash them in the dishwasher so they are easy to clean. I like that the tongs are metal and the size is perfect for his little hands.Ya había leído comentarios sobre la elección de color, pero intenté 2 veces y las mismas me salieron rosas y tengo niño. Deberían tomar en cuenta tantas opiniones sobre el mismo problema y aunque cuesten un poco más, poder elegir el color.When you're a 2-year old, learning to use a point fork isn't the best way to start. These toddler friendly forks have round prongs that make sure your little one doesn't hurt themselves while learning to pierce food and eat with a fork. The handle has a soft, round grip that fits perfectly in a toddler's hand. Machine washable is a plus as well.
