Shop allIt appears to be a milk frother pitcher with stickers for $25 instead of $8 and it doesn�t come with the metal Latte art pen. But it cost 3x as much to take advantage of parents.
Aplainr Pour Pitcher
Toddler was drawn to this cup right away. She loves using it in her pretend kitchen and we’ve just started practicing pouring water with it. My husband also used it as a milk pitcher some mornings for our lattes, haha
Perfect for 1 1/2-3 yr olds

The best kids utensils, good weight, look really nice, durable. I wish I could buy just forks or just spoons, as we’ve left one or two at restaurants or vacation rentals and it’s a bummer to have to buy them in sets. We don’t really use the knives, but my son is only 3 so maybe he will use them more as he gets older.

I love this little stainless steel server cup. I use it to keep extra hot water in for my tea and it would also be great to serve milk or cream in. It has a 1 Cup marker on the inside. Its great. Love it.
This is a nice, simple pitcher. Both my 2 and 4 year old love to use this. We've used it for practice pouring, as well as just playing with during sensory play. It lives in their play kitchen, so they also use if for pretend play a lot. It's the perfect size for little hands and well hold up well for years. The box it came in looks like an icecream tub, so that's been great for play as well. We haven't used any of the stickers, but it's nice that it came with those if you wanted to customize the pitcher.
This is a great little stainless steel pitcher. The size is perfect for small coffee (I've been using it to steam milk). Its easy to clean and use, and the 1 cup measure on the inside is nice. I would say the weld on the handle looks a little bit weak (see photo), but it hasn't failed yet, so I'm pretty happy with it. It is functional and way better to use than a ceramic cup like I was doing before. It seems a bit expensive for what it is, but I am not a stainless steel pitcher expert.
We use this for milk frothing with our espresso machine. Size is great and pours nicely so it works great!. Stainless steel is a plus and it looks pro, easy to clean.
It's a good value for thr price. I'd order again!
This metal pitcher is solid and definitely well-made. It has a 1 cup measurement line inside and is the perfect size for toddlers practicing independence skills like pouring liquids. Very excited for out little one to put it to practice.
The Montessori method emphasizes the preference of natural materials (like metals/woods, etc), and this metal pitcher fits the bill. Also, one less piece of plastic in our environment!
The pitcher comes in a cute box (pictured behind the pitcher) and would make a great gift for a Montessori toddler or classroom teacher.
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
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.
Very high quality and easy to clean. No noticable difference to the taste of drinks. It's the perfect size to teach toddlers how to pour their own drinks and is a good price for the quality.
I was so excited to get this. It’s really high quality stainless steel designed perfectly to fit in my toddlers hand. We practiced water transfer with it and he wanted to keep doing it - he had so much fun! I’m planning on using this to eventually have him pour his own drinks. I like this item because it goes along with Montessori style independence. This pitcher has great functionality and looks great in a play kitchen or real kitchen. I also appreciate the fact there’s a line on the inside in case you want to measure 1 cup. Highly recommend.
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!
This is a 10 piece stainless steel set, that is also dishwasher safe. The utensils comes in a beautiful bamboo container, that can be used to store and hold the utensils. I think the handles are a little long for little hands and are perfect for my son who is 7. The knives have no blade but can help one learn how to cut food safely. The colors are neutral. Highly recommend.
It's so fun receiving items from APLAINR: it's like opening a fancy gift. The packaging is solid and pretty, and the product is quality and smartly made. These utensils feel great, well-balanced and tough. My grandson is not feeding himself yet, but he is getting used to holding them. They will be fun to use with playdough, also when he is ready for that in a few months.
They seem pricy, but these are not going to warp or come apart - they are very well constructed.
I love everything about this mini pour pitcher. First it comes in the cutest box that looks like a miniature hat box! Inside, fitting in its little slot, you will find the pitcher and its stickers. The pitcher itself is perfect stainless steal with has a beautiful finish. Has a great feel and weight. There is a cup measurement line on both sides of the inside of the cup. This is promoted as a child’s pouring practice which I’m sure it could be, but I purchased this for my Expresso machine to froth milk in and I’m happy I did. I won’t be adding the nice stickers on it’s perfect finish but they are there if you’re using this for little ones.
This pitcher is adorable and you certainly feel like you are receiving a lovely gift in very fancy packaging.
Right now, we are using this pour pitcher in the tub to play and pour water on my 9 month old grandson's head to acclimate him to water in his face. He loves to splash and pour water out of it. I imagine in a few months, we will use it outside in the sandbox and splash pool.
APLAINR has some really nice pieces for teaching mealtime and table time with littles. Looking forward to using some of the other pieces that we have bought from them.
This set is so nicely made! I love the retro colors and the bamboo divider it comes in. You get a cream, green, and orange set. They are small enough for little hands but also big enough that I can use them as well. Definitely worth the price as these will likely last a lifetime!
I have 1.5 yr old toddlers. They are very interested in using utensils at mealtime. Easy to hold and use. This set is great for them to learn. I’m happy the utensils are stainless steel instead of plastic. I plan on putting this set in the drawer with the bamboo plate where my toddlers can easily access to promote independence. The only downside is the price. I personally would not pay that much for toddler utensils but others may consider this cheap/ affordable.
