Sensory Spoon

For babies ages 7 months to 3 years. Designed by 2 occupational therapists and a speech-language pathologist. The only spoon available that focuses on the development of self-feeding with infants as young as 7 months. At this age, infants are curious and interested in handling objects and bringing them to their mouths in exploration - the perfect age to introduce a colorful, tactilely pleasing object that is safe and functional! The Sensory Spoon features the following: 

• Provides a safe sensory experience when exploring spoon with mouth 
• The short, textured handle offers sensory input to the palm for grasping; a bumpy texture between the rings provides greater tactile input for little hands. 
• A  natural "stop" prevents gagging or deep insertion into the mouth 
• Offers a soft/flexible, smooth textured, durable spoon material 
• Flat, slightly upward curve of the bow's sides facilitates easy food clearance by the lips
