3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best for toddlers, December 15, 2010

This review is from: Danesco 3-Piece Stainless Steel Children's Flatware Set, Teddy Bear (Kitchen)

When our daughter was around a year old, she wanted to have the same tools as daddy and mommy had at the table. We let her use a tiny baby fork and spoon my mother gave us, and then later as she grew, a baby/toddler size fork and spoon that matched our wedding silver. She's two and a half now, and uses a fork and spoon almost as well as an adult, except where strength is an issue. I bought this set because it's a bit of a pain to be washing the same fork between each meal, and I thought she might be ready for larger pieces.

The fork is 5.75 inches long, the spoon 5.5 inches, and the knife 6.5 inches. By comparison, the small fork in our adult set of tableware is 6.25 inches long. The total weight for the three pieces is 4 oz., and they feel like a comparable weight to our adult set.

The spoon is considerably too big to fit in our daughter's mouth, with the bowl width the same as on an adult teaspoon. The knife is too heavy for a 2.5 year old. Our daughter does not like the fork - either the weight is too much or the balance is wrong for her to hold it with an adult style hold. Though the tines do not seem blunt, she had difficulty pushing them into a piece of hamburger.

Fortunately, there are better options. For one and two year olds, the Reed & Barton set - Reed & Barton Children's Giftware MASTER 2PC BABY MASTER 2 PC BABY SET 4770 18/10 - is smaller and easier to handle, though the fork tines are not as sharp. The Oneida children's flatware - Oneida Chateau 3-Piece Child Set - is about the same overall size as this Danesco set, but is lighter, has better balance, and has a more reasonably sized spoon bowl, likely making it a better choice overall.

My five-year-old loves this set. I bought it for her a year ago, and they are just as good as when we first bought them. She prefers "little" silverware, rather than adult sized. They are a good weight so I don't have to worry about them bending. And they hold more food than little baby spoons, so they are great for a four and five year old child; I don't have to worry that she's slowed down with her fork and spoon not holding enough food for a child her size. They've held up to the dishwasher as well. Very nice. I would definitely buy again.

I was surprised at how nice this flatware set was for the price. It's very heavy, washes well and is the perfect size for my toddler's little hands and mouth. She enjoys using flatware that looks more like Mommy and Daddy's. I like the fact that the fork actually WORKS to spear food. The plastic or dull tined forks, while incredibly safe if you want to leave your toddler to eat by themselves (which we never do) seem almost like a cruel joke. Have you, as an adult, ever tried to spear food with one of those things? It's an exercise in futility!

With the Danesco fork, my daughter can successfully load her fork and actually eat. With traditional dull toddler forks she tries to get food loaded, gets frustrated, then uses her hands. I love this set!
