Mealtime Essentials - At Home or On the Go
FIRST MEALS:I loved these small Ikea coffee spoons for baby's first meals. Perfect for getting purees in the mouth and not on the floor!
FIRST MEALS: Chances are your little one will like fruit (ok, my little guy was the exception!). Touching shiny apples and bumpy oranges is a fun reading ritual.
AT HOME: Kids love eating at a table that's just their size. I love the fun, funky shape that's easy to clean up!
AT HOME: How adorable is this utensil set? My construction-obsessed daughter loves to combine these with her Tinkerbell plate.
AT HOME:Looks like just a train, right? Nope! It's a train transformer! A clever plate, cup, and utensil set that morphs into choo-choo train locomotive. Gotta have it.
AT HOME: I'm a big fan of children (at the proper age) learning how to use a knife. My daughter gets to practice cutting her food with this set.
AT HOME: What is it about cute utensils that get kids so excited? Who knows, but it works!
AT HOME:I couldn't believe how tasty these recipes were. Jessica Seinfeld's book is filled with traditional recipes that kids love, except they're stealthily packed with hidden veggies. My favorite is the chocolate chip cookies — with garbanzo beans!
AT HOME:I'm in love with these personalized plates.
AT HOME: The genius here is the five separate compartments. Picky eaters will rejoice.
ON THE GO: Bento boxes are my latest favorite thing for packing lunches. And a cute panda is sure to make opening it up a major event each day.
ON THE GO:If you have two kiddos, this size is just right for snacks. Especially since mine aren't big on sharing just yet.
ON THE GO: A must have. Seriously. A life changer.
ON THE GO: Get rid of the countless plastic baggies!
ON THE GO: BYO entertainment! A fun treat to "save" for restaurant outings.
ON THE GO:This thing is indestructible, which makes it pretty much perfect for toddlers.
ON THE GO: This bamboo set is so beautiful I almost hate to use it!
COOKING TOGETHER A budding chef has to look the part, right?
COOKING TOGETHER: The most comprehensive cooking set I've seen. Tiny chefs will love having their own rolling pin (trust me).
COOKING TOGETHER: Cooking with little ones is so much easier when you have fun (and simple) recipes like Wimpy's Bacon-Wieners and Hector's He-Man Hamburgers.
COOKING TOGETHER: These little guys' cuteness makes them deceptively easy to grip for little hands.
COOKING TOGETHER:A beautifully made all wood and metal cooking set.Next: More kids' products
FIRST MEALS: A friend of mine got this magic machine and I was sooo jealous. An all-in-one device that steams and purees just about any baby food. So easy!
