Aplainr Grown-up Utensils

These are such great eating utensils! You didnt know you needed these, but you totally do. Theyre the perfect size to fill the gap between baby spoons and sporks and regular silverware. I got really tired of using baby spoons and sporks that are mostly plastic or hunting down my smallest metal forks that were still probably too wide for my toddler to eat with and actually have the ability to stab his food on his plate and actually have most of it reach his mouth. These are the perfect sharpness and size for little big eaters to do just that. Love the box and colors too. Oh, and kiddo loves them too. Theyre his special things and he gets them out for every mealtime. Would make an awesome gift for 3rd birthdays especially I would think.

We're trying to upgrade our child from plastic cutlery to metal ones, and although it's a slow process (as they have sensory issues), this cutlery has been working very well as an introduction. All three utensils are very easy to handle, as they have a thick, chunky handle. And since it's "full tang", I don't have any concerns about them breaking or falling apart in my child's mouth from poor construction. They're also a nice weight and balance for small-ish hands.
I don't know how much the bamboo organizer tray contributes to the costs - and make no mistake, these are an investment - but I honestly wish it wasn't included. I get the idea from a Montessori perspective, as it can help teach organizing skills, but honestly, in most practical settings, you're going to organize them with the rest of your cutlery, making it a bit wasteful.
On the whole, while these utensils aren't cheap, they are extremely high quality, and even though it's a long process in my particular case getting my child used to them, they seem like the kind of utensils that could last until they're heading off to college.

I purchased the APLAINR Grown-up Utensils Set for my 86-year-old grandmother, and it turned out to be a perfect choice. Even though these utensils are marketed for toddlers, they have a design that makes them suitable for adults as well. The stainless steel construction gives them a sturdy feel, but the weight is light enough that they're easy for my grandmother to handle. The vibrant colors add a cheerful touch to her dining experience, and she really enjoys the smooth, comfortable grip.
The utensils come in a nice box that doubles as a convenient storage tray, making it easy to keep them organized and within reach. The bamboo organizer is a nice touch, adding an eco-friendly element to the set while helping keep everything tidy. My grandmother loves the look and feel of these utensils, and I think the fact that they are lightweight yet durable makes them a great option for anyone who needs something easy to use but still stylish.
Overall, I'm really happy with this purchase. While designed for toddlers, the utensils are versatile enough for older adults who want something colorful and lightweight. My grandmother now has a set of utensils she enjoys using, and the whole experience has made me consider other practical but fun options for people of all ages.

This set came in a beautiful round box and I instantly thought of how perfect it would to be to gift. It comes with a bamboo plate that holds the three sets of stainless steel spoons, forks, and knives. I love the retro colors since it reminds me of the utensils I used to use growing up. You can tell that they’re nice quality and the weight and size are perfect for little hands. It is a wonderful Montessori tool for setting the table and learning how to put away the utensils. Super functional and aesthetically beautiful !

These are great quality utensils designed for Kids! They are easy to hold, sturdy and safe. The knife is round headed which is a lot safer but still provides the movement of cutting with its side. spoon and fork doesn't have any sharp edges. The tray also makes it easier for organizing. A bit expensive but could be used for a long time

Awesome set that is super high quality with an amazing retro vibe. These will last forever. I love the cute storage box. My three year old is obsessed with these now!!

Bamboo divider is removable! The quality is very good. They don't look that great but they do the job perfectly. The handles are not too long or large for children hands so it's perfect for the kids.

Toddler cutlery and a nice bamboo circle tray for them to put back with photos. Easy to hold and use for toddler safety. The size is perfect and the grip is spot on. Love the colors and how it teaches my LO to set the table

 I absolutely love this brand! Even though it’s a small business, the quality of this utensil set is truly outstanding. From the moment I opened the package, it felt magical—the box it came in is so beautiful and well-designed that I’ll be saving it forever.
Everything about this set exceeded my expectations. The colors, the materials, the aesthetic, the thoughtful design, and the perfect size for little hands—all of it is beyond what I could have imagined. It’s safe for kids to use, Montessori-friendly, and yet still looks so stylish and elegant.
I can’t recommend this brand enough! If you’re looking for something functional, safe, and stunningly crafted, this is it. I’ve already told my friends about it, and I’ll continue to sing its praises. A must-have for any toddler household!

I have the Montessori placemat from this brand and my 3yo has been requesting real silverware (not the toddler stuff) to place on the appropriate outlined spaces on the placemat. I am SO happy with this set. I was worried about the knives but they are not super sharp and closer to something you might find on a charcuterie board. My son is excited to learn how to cut his own food, and to use larger utensils like mom and dad! I appreciate the little organizer it came with, the three sets of each piece, and the overall weight of the silverware. I also REALLY appreciate that they are dishwasher safe, and one less thing I need to keep an eye out for when cleaning the dishes. I see these lasting a really long time and if they rust, I will come back and update my review. But so far so good! I did not see an age recommendation for this product listed (just toddler and preschool language), but I am not sure I would let my young 2yo use these just yet. The forks are a bit sharper than he is used to using and I am not sure he has the coordination to cut food, making the knives useless and probably just a power struggle right now. I am going to wait for him. Last point- the packaging this company uses is STUNNING. The placemat and/or this silverware set would be a great gift and possibly a great baby/sprinkle gift, too!
