Kizingo Kids
Parents of toddlers and young children will tell you that typically more food ends up on their child’s face than in their stomachs when they are learning to eat. It’s no surprise either considering how young children lack the fine motor skills required to handle spoons and forks. Kizingo curved spoons changes all of that though with their ergonomically designed spoons which enable even the youngest of children to use a spoon more effectively. The curved shape helps kids transport food easily into their mouths without dropping it before it ever makes it there. Plus, the easy to grip wide handle makes it a breeze to hold for tiny hands and fingers. And Kizingo spoons hold the appropriate pint-sized amount of food in them so kids don’t get too big of a bite either.
