NUK First Essentials Kiddy Cutlery Forks: 3-Pack, Assorted Colors Review

These are the best little forks for little hands. My son enjoys eating with them and they are very easy to use. We love the fun colors and big pens. Three come in a pack and that's really all we need. The forks are of great quality and I would buy them again. The photos show the size of the fork and the size compared to a standard dinner fork.

We just received these and can't wait to try them. I'm not sure why the product is called Gerber Graduates on Revain when the packaging says "First Essentials by NUK". Nevertheless, these are larger forks for toddlers (see picture compared to our spoons). They have a stand at the bottom which is good to keep the fork from touching the counter/table. And what I love most is that they can be washed in the dishwasher! I plan to update the rating after use.

Our daughter was very upset with the plastic forks she used (they couldn't pierce the food so she could put it in her mouth). We decided that a metal fork would be better. Not only is it much easier for her to chop food, but the rounded handle is super easy for her to hold and uses like a pro! Bonus: when you place the fork on the table, the top of the fork doesn't touch the table because there is a built-in prop on the handle. Well maintained!

We have been doing BLW with my son since he was 6 months old. In case you aren't familiar, BLW is the idea of a child eating regular food off the table instead of mashed potatoes. Since we switched to pre-loaded forks and spoons, they were perfect for my friend's small hands. They're big enough for him to get a good grip on the handle, but short enough that he can stuff them in his mouth without worrying about hurting himself or shutting his mouth.

Very good grip. We've had them for 5 years and my son still uses them fairly regularly (he's 5 now). They've been in the dishwasher every night and they still look the same as when you bought them. They have a great grip for little hands and are quite wide on the food side. He still prefers it to a salad fork because it's easy to use and gets food into his mouth more efficiently. We'll probably stop production soon just because it's getting old, but the product is doing great!

And I'm 21 months old and I love these forks. Best of all, my little one is becoming more confident and less frustrated when it comes to feeding herself. He can't eat by himself yet, especially not with a spoon, but the main thing is that he likes it and wants to do it. He is actually happy and smiles when he sees this fork lol. It's light, sharp enough that it can pierce food without much effort, but small enough that I can comfortably give it to my baby. This is a win-win situation. I have…

These forks are easy to hold compared to forks and other forks and can be used for 14 months. They are thick and curved, which helps him grip. They're a good length so he can easily twist the fork into his mouth without too much trouble. The width and size of the metal part of the fork is good and he has no problem getting the fork in his mouth with food. Of course, especially at this age, you need to be careful that your child doesn't accidentally hurt himself when using a real fork, but they…

My boys (3.5 and 2 year olds) always prefer these forks to the other forks we have. They are not blunt enough to limit their function, but not sharp enough to cause injury either. Tougher foods (like meat) can be difficult to penetrate with them, but I've found that any kid-friendly fork will. I had a couple of these that I bought 4 years ago but recently bought another set for a trip we were taking. They changed the design a bit by adding a pivot at the bottom so the metal part doesn't touch…

This is the perfect first plug for my 14 month old twins. The handle is just the right size so you can grab onto anything and still stay in control. The tines won't hurt them while they're learning, but they pierce food easily so they can get it themselves. I like the rubber grips, they're easy to hold. They still chew a lot and it doesn't damage their teeth either. There is also a small stop at the bottom so the fork can be placed without touching the food on the table. It only took a few days

These forks are ideal for baby and toddler hands. I first used them on my son when he was a baby and now he's 3 1/2 and still reaches for these forks and not the others in our drawer. As a satisfied customer, I bought an extra set when I was pregnant again. At five months my daughter started putting them in her mouth to suit our family when we eat together. She loves using these and the matching Gerber Graduates spoons to pretend to eat with us. Avoid getting plastic toxins in your food. The…
