Baby spoons help to develop fine motor skills and eye and hand coordination. With the ultimate goal of the baby being able to eventually self-feed, baby spoons help them along their eating journey.
They are smaller in size, in comparison to a regular adult spoon. The spoon itself is rounded and thin, perfect for fitting in a tiny mouth. The handle on a baby spoon is extra long, making it a cinch to deliver tasty goodness to them without spilling.
