It's been a while since I have done a Sing it, Sister, so when I received these products in the mail I was thrilled! Anything that makes parenthood even the slightest bit easier always has my vote. Especially gadgets. I love me a good gadget.
Tinytongs are really handy for children who haven't quite mastered using utensils (or not even close in my case) and even for children who have. Have you ever noticed that the second you introduce a new plate or utensils to your toddler that dinner becomes exciting again? Both of my kids loved these for those reasons. The smaller children can improve their pincer grasp while all ages can work on their fine motor skills while eating. Brilliant. Tinytongs are made from polypropylene and TPE over-molding, non-toxic, lead, BPA and Phtalate Free. They are recommended for ages 12 months through 5 years, retail for $7.99 and come in pink, purple, orange and green. Best yet, they were designed by a mother, so you know she knew what she was doing ;)
Next up: Silikids Siliskin Glass
We've been exploring many milestones with Bubba lately. He'll be three at the end of January and that is "D Day" for many toddlers. We're working on potty training, getting rid of the pacifier, and drinking from a big kid cup (i.e. banishing the straw cups). We've had a rough go at the first two, but the last one is fun and not all that serious. Nevertheless, it's something that needs to be done. We have hardwood floors, so imagine my glee when this cup showed up in our mailbox. It's an actual glass cup, but it's covered in a silicone mold. I've tried dropping it on the floor and it didn't break- kudos to the Siliskin Glass! Bubba loves drinking out of it too because it's just his size and it's glass so I know it must feel extra grown up to him. The bonus of silicone is it's also BPA free, non-toxic, hypo allergenic, does not promote bacteria or fungus growth and it's recyclable. These 6 oz cups retail for $7.95 and come in green and blue. This company has a range of silicone products, and if you are interested you can check them out at http://www.silikids.com/

Love these.
Milestones, ahh, milestones. You are WAY ahead of us. Potty training isn't going to be in our near future. I can see him going off to college in diapers. Seriously.
Paci has been gone for a year, but we JUST did a big boy bed and as I write this he is in bed with me watching Tom and Jerry. (Ugh. Violent and late...ugh)
We are slowly working on the cup thing too and I love this idea!
Thanks!
Love the reviews. I will have to try out the silicon cups.
Excellent review J! Bubba looks so grown up with his big person glass! Those tongs are awesome! I think I need some to help me eat without flinging food everywhere. I am impressed with Birdie's deft handling of the utensil gadget!
Both of those look really cool! I am especially interested in the silicone one!
