Excellent training utensils!We have an 11-month old daughter. She has used this set only a handful of times, and is already almost a pro! I would attribute this to the set itself, which fosters independence and self-feeding. The reason I say that is because we had given her regular utensils before trying these with her, and she had trouble. She couldn't begin feeding herself until we bought this set. (See Edited to Add, below, for more on this.)Both the fork and the spoon have fat, rounded handles, which are easy for chubby little toddler hands to hold.The Fork:The fork has dulled but very effective tines, and tonight she speared peas and eggs with it, so it goes to show the fork can be used for almost any food our grown-up forks handle. I am very impressed with the fork's 'spearing' ability. And I love that it's much safer for our daughter. No ouchies at dinnertime! I have included a photo of our daughter eating with the fork; she finished her entire meal by herself, a first for her, as she is just now learning to feed herself. I have heard that babies really don't learn the art of feeding themselves until they are about 15 months old. But she has... at 11 months! And all thanks to this utensil set! I am super-impressed.The Spoon:She hasn't had the chance to experiment with the spoon as much as the fork, due to the kinds of foods she has been eating lately. So far, we have found that the spoon's well is more than adequate for yogurt, stew, and baby cereal - although we have not yet tried it with thinner, soupier items (such as chicken soup and the like.) When we do, I will update my review accordingly.The Verdict:There's absolutely nothing to complain about and everything to love about this toddler spoon and fork set! I would buy this again in a heartbeat. (I have seen some reviews about the difficulty of cleaning the handles of the utensil set; so far, we have not had any difficulty with this at all. They have always cleaned up nicely. I will, however, keep an eye out for an issues of this type further down the line and update accordingly.)EDITED TO ADD:Somehow, and I have no idea how, her training utensil set has vanished, as of today! So I've put in an order for another set; this time we are buying the pink instead of the aqua. (Which is the color I wanted originally, but mistakenly chose the aqua.)Our little girl is extremely independent as of late. She doesn't want to eat unless she can feed herself. So at breakfast time, sans her fork, I sat her at her highchair and substituted an adult-size fork, because I had no choice - while searching frantically for the missing set. No such luck. And this is what happened: My little one, who had been feeding herself with ease with her toddler set, couldn't feed herself with the adult-sized utensils. And, of course, that led to her getting angry and frustrated, because she didn't want me to feed her but wanted to feed herself. So it's just as I thought: The toddler utensil set is what got her off and running to feeding herself. She apparently couldn't have reached this milestone this early without it!We are extremely happy with our purchase, and are gladly purchasing another set to replace the lost one. I would recommend this product to anyone with a baby the appropriate age. Thank you, OXO!  Read Less
