Babies are constantly learning about their surroundings. As they learn about self-feeding, how would they know which end of a utensil to hold?
Chewtensils have rounded, textured handles that are easy to grasp and hold on tight. The added weight of the solid silicone handles also helps to steady babies’ hands as they learn to dip and scoop purees and soft foods.
Babies spend a good deal of time teething and seeking out things they can chew on. We know your little one will probably gnaw on our Chewtensils, so we made them from soft, food-safe silicone and added a bit of texture to help give them a bit of relief as they deal with the discomfort of teething*. Let them dip the Chewtensils into a cool puree and enjoy the relief!
*Chewtensils are not a teether and should only be used under direct adult supervision.
Platinum Cured Silicone
Silicone is extremely durable, easy to care for, and safe to use. During creation, silicone can be "cured" with two types of curing agents. We use the best one - platinum. When cured with platinum, there are no by-products created, and the silicone's already fabulous qualities are amplified.
Stain, Odor, and Bacteria Resistant
As parents, we worry about enough. Silicone's properties are naturally bacteria, mold, and fungus resistant. Our silicone utensil sets all feature a smooth finish, so there's nowhere for food to get trapped.
Dishwasher Safe
Silicone is extremely durable, which means it's dishwasher safe. Unlike other plastic baby utensils, silicone does not leach any harsh chemicals during high-heat washing. Wash your Bumkins dishware however you see fit, but rest assured, the days of handwashing dishes are in the past with silicone.
