Child sized sliverware is nearly impossible to find. I looked all over before I found this set. We love it! It's perfect for my daughter who is two. It's REAL silverware but for smaller hands. The fork actually spears food! No worries about shap edges on the knife it has no "edge". The spoon has worked well for us. My daughter can grasp and manipulate it with ease. My only complaint is that for $15.00 you get one fork, one knife and one spoon. Overall a quality product!

I got this set for my grandson for Thanksgiving dinner because he loves to use the type of silverware that grownups use. He loved it. He's just 19 months but he felt so special. Of course we had to watch him carefully since he is still very young. But he tends to eat at the table and doesnt play that much. The flatware was such it blended well with my daughter's flatware.

We have been very pleased with the quality of this lovely Oneida flatware set. Our 4-year-old son uses it on an everyday basis and is proud of his "special silverware". It looks quite similar to our other Oneida pieces and is easy to take care of. I'm ordering another set to keep on hand just in case.

The Oneida Chateau Child's Flatware is great quality, dishwasher safe and perfect size for my 2 and 4 year old boys. They match our sets perfectly and help our children feel like they have graduated from the baby stage to the little person stage of life. I highly reccomend this product for children who have passed the chewing on everything stage.

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 lack of adult 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 5.25 inches, and the knife 6.75 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 just over 3 oz.; they are slightly lighter than our adult set, but it may just be that our set is heavier than an Oneida adult set would be.

The fork works well for our daughter; it seems long for a 2.5 year old, but the balance is such that she can hold it closer to the tines and still use an adult style hold. The proportions of the fork and spoon are better than competing options, such as the Danesco set at Danesco 3-Piece Stainless Steel Children's Flatware Set, Teddy Bear, being narrow enough to fit into a child size mouth. The knife is still a bit heavy for her, but would be fine for an older child.

For a younger child - especially a child under two - the smaller Reed & Barton set at Reed & Barton Children's Giftware MASTER 2PC BABY MASTER 2 PC BABY SET 4770 18/10 may be preferable. For three years old and up, though, this set seems the best option to buy.

I bought 4 of these sets for the next generation of grandchildren in our family. My own children used them 30 years ago and those are still in use at my house when the grandchildren come. They are a great transition from baby silverware to adult size - the kids love having their own knife but there is no serration so no danger of cutting themselves, and the fork is just the right size for their mouths. I highly recommend these for the 2 to 4 year old child.

These are so much better than the clunky plastic forks and spoons! Our toddler can use the fork with ease, as it actually works to pick up food. It was hard to find these though, they need better tagging for the search engine.

I bought this as a "big boy" gift for my [...] grandson. It arrived today and he was so happy with it, he ate ALL his dinner! He was so proud to cut his food all by himself with his own knife and fork. Not one complaint! Only once did he say, "My tummy's full" - yet continued to eat until his plate was clean! Out with all the baby spoons and forks that don't work well anyway. Seeing the look of pride and accomplishment on his little face is priceless. I highly recommend these silverware sets to anyone with kids.

I think this tableware set is perfect for my daughter, who is almost 3. She no longer needed her baby utensils, but our adult tableware was too big for her to handle easily. Now with light tableware that looks grownup, she is learning quickly to use her utensils like a big girl! And this tableware set was a buy 4 for 3, so a great deal as well!

My daughter used this set and now my son uses it. We threw out the fork by mistake so I'm ordering another set -- the fork is just perfect for a toddler but my almost 6-year old still loves the fork. I'd highly recommend this!
