Are these too babyish for a just-turned four-year old? Should I just re-purpose a cake fork and have him use that instead of "toddler" cutlery? Thanks

I would say these are a good option for your child to use until they are ready for regular cutlery. I wouldn't call them too babyish at all

These are perfect for any child from 1 1/2 all the way until they ready for real silverware. I am leaving this review now as I am reordering more spoons and forks. My 4 year old has used them since she moved on from the rubber coated "baby spoons". I have a 2 year old who is also using them. They are "baby" enough for my youngest and big enough for my oldest. I highly recommend them. They seem to be the perfect size for the longest use.

I don't think so. They're great forks. Good size for small hands and actually stab food. Not just the plastic tips that don't get anything. He won't feel like its a baby fork

I suppose that depends on your four-year-old. My three-year-old loves them. They are definitely made for toddlers and not babies. The handles are meant to be shorter and have the easier grip for toddlers. It eliminates the too-long-and-slippery adult cutlery. But, if you wanted to be practical, a cake fork would work just fine. :)

I would say a 3-4 year old could use with supervision and some help. The grater requires two hands to operate (as do all hand held graters) so and adult or older child would have to steady the grater as the child turned the handle.

I think these plates are great for a 5 year old. They are 7 1/2 inches by 7 1/2 ( i just measured them). I currently use them for my 1 year old. If i filled each divider with food it would be to much. I also used this plate for myself a couple of times and i love them. They are big enough for an adult but small enough for a kid. Sounds weird but they are great! Hope i helped!

My son is 3 years old and has played with it every day since Christmas day. He thinks he is a chef. I had bought pots, fake foods, plates and utensils for him to get the full use out of the kitchen. He seems to like it enough to play with it. He is tall and I thought this would be an issue but it's pretty perfect for him, no complaints at all. Good luck.

Well, that is kind of a subjective question...at least for me. The size is enough so you can recognize them as salad forks, still enough so you "could" use them for any part of a meal. To me, this set is as near perfect as I could get. I like every detail about the set.

They would be good for picking up with tongs. My daughter uses them for that purpose - she's 2 1/2 and doesn't have a problem with it!

I think these are delicate toys made to be played with delicate hands. Maybe they should suggest this for kids a little older! No problems here.

Yes, my 3 year old loves them. He and my 5 yr old have been fighting over the 1 digger fork we had before purchasing these since he was 2. We are also ordering them for my 2 1/2 yr old nephew.

My four year old uses them. I think for a one year old they may slip off and be a little big.

The larger crayons are made for more aggressive hands that may not have fine motor skills yet. They are less likely to break and they will not be used up as quickly. If the 4 year old has good motor skills and can understand working delicately, then these would be just fine.

The bowls fit great into the stand. I don't think your toddler would enjoy attempting to tip over the bowls....too much effort.

Monica, Yes, your 5 year old would enjoy the construction utensils. I'm now watching my third grandchild enjoy them from ages 2 1/2 through 6.Happy Thanksigiving.

I'm happy to tell you that the salad/dessert forks are an appropriate size. You're right though - I have another set by WMF and the salad/dessert forks are a very silly size. I think you'll be happy with this set & it's a good weight.

Sorry, these were a present, so I can't look at the packaging, but the handles are hard plastic, and the spoon parts are softer, with a sort of rubbery texture and a little pliable. Better than both hard plastic spoons, or metal ones (especially if you miss your target.) These are not the short spoons for toddlers to feed themselves, by the way, but the handles are a nice length for feeding small children (hence the 'miss your target' concern.) They are dishwasher safe, I do remember that. (Top rack, if you want to play it safe, with the bottles and the nipples and all that.) Hope this helps.

I don't have the board but looking at the adjustable handle bar i think your 4 year old would be fine.

I remember we gave them to my daughter as soon as she had her first teeth. I would say on the few months. Even if she play with them (I mean putting in her mouth without eating it) they are very helpful to keep her calm. Now that she is 16 month old...she doesn't want them anymore. So just try to gave them the biscuits (they are very very light and brakes easily, so no danger at all).

I bought these for my 3 year old granddaughter, and she did fine with them. I am not sure what "listed" age was, but if the child is out of the "put everything in your mouth" stage (8 months -2 years) you should be okay...we didn't use ours as cake toppers, they were just toys she played with while watching the show; she kept them in her purse ;-).
