Sounds like I need to pick up the gerber graduates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to#post-1110399 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 13:41:06 +0000 regberadaisy 1110399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: oh thanks!

Sometimes too small, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to#post-1110393 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 13:39:29 +0000 chopsuey 1110393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been using these for the last 1.5 years. They hold up well!</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Gerber-Graduates-Kiddy-Cutlery-Piece/dp/B008X6RGZK/ref=sr_1_1?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1380134343&#038;sr=1-1&#038;keywords=gerber+fork" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Gerber-Graduates-Kiddy-Cutlery-Piece/dp/B008X6RGZK/ref=sr_1_1?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1380134343&#038;sr=1-1&#038;keywords=gerber+fork</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to#post-1110391 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 13:38:47 +0000 regberadaisy 1110391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: haha that was my other thought; tasting forks! I saw them at Le Gourmet Chef the one day but they were all out of forks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to#post-1110387 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 13:37:45 +0000 T-Mom 1110387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty happy with any toddler fork we've gotten, including Gerber, oxo, ikea. But now that I think about it, I think I reach for the Gerber ones the most!</p> <p>@locavore_mama: Have you tried Target? These look nice and under $20 for 12. <a href="http://www.target.com/p/libbey-just-tastings-12-piece-fork-set/-/A-14297227" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/libbey-just-tastings-12-piece-fork-set/-/A-14297227</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to#post-1109920 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 10:38:01 +0000 pregnantbee 1109920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm kind of wondering the same thing. The Take and Toss ones don't pierce anything.</p> <p>ETA: Amazon has amazing reviews of the Gerber Graduates ones....hmmm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to#post-1109919 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 10:37:47 +0000 looch 1109919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we had the Gerber forks too, the ones with the rubber coated handles?</p> <p>We prefer the smaller salad/dessert forks, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to#post-1109915 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 10:36:54 +0000 mediagirl 1109915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just ordered the Gerber Graduates forks. I'll let you know how they work out. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to#post-1109913 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 10:36:46 +0000 autumnlove 1109913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Gerber utensils. The metal pronged fork is the perfect size for LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to#post-1109909 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 10:34:59 +0000 regberadaisy 1109909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let her use our smaller "dessert/salad" forks. In reality I am searching for stainless steel, plain, non plastic handle toddler sized forks that don't cost $20. IKEA has a great set if they're near you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to#post-1109905 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 10:33:43 +0000 twinmama 1109905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What kind of utensils does your toddler use? </p> <p>My kids are now interested in using utensils at 14 months, particularly forks. We have the take and toss plastic ones, but they're pretty difficult for the kids to pierce the food themselves, which leaves me bouncing from chair to chair stabbing food for them. Nervous about giving them metal prongs, but maybe that's what they need? Or maybe it's just a phase hip they master the stabbing part themselves? Other ideas? Thanks! </p>
