Bumkins Chewtensils are intended for Stage 1 of baby led weaning - introducing babies to the concept of holding a utensil and feeding themselves. We made Chewtensils from soft, textured silicone that’s easy to grip and is gentle on tender gums, with bendable heads for safety. Introduce babies to self-feeding by giving them utensils that can be chewed on before transitioning to silverware. The back of the spoon head has sensory bumps to stimulate gums. Weighted, textured handles allow little ones to hold while they begin to familiarize themselves with self-feeding. Perfect for dipping into pureed foods at the early part of baby led weaning.Chewtensils are intended for babies before they have a firm grasp on self-feeding; best for dipping and scooping, not yet piercing solid foods. Made from 100-percent food-safe silicone. We use third party labs to ensure the products we manufacture comply with CPSC and CPSIA standards for BPA, Lead, and Phthalates. Dishwasher-safe. For ages 6 months and up. Each measure approximately 3in long, 1.75in wide. Do not leave child unattended with product. Discard if damaged or torn. Designed in Arizona, responsibly made in China.
