Playtex Mealtime Bowls Make Eating More Fun for Kids-Giveaway

For the last year, I’ve been sharing information about all my very favourite Playtex products as part of my role as a Playtex Mommyville Featured Expert. From the much-beloved Diaper Genie Elite (have you entered to win one yet?) to the handy Twist ‘n Click Snacker for mess-free snacking on the road, there are just so many Playtex products that are essentials in our household.

playtex mealtime bowlsOne of our very favourite Playtex lines is the Playtex Mealtime tableware and the bowls we received to review recently were no exception. My boys love their Playtex Mealtime plates and cutlery so they were very excited to use their new matching bowls!

We received a set of three Playtex Mealtime Bowls to review. As usual, Zackary claimed the bowl featuring a car and Benjamin wanted the bowl with a cheery dinosaur. The very next morning, both boys insisted on using the bowls for their breakfast cereal.

The boys found the design of the bowls appealing but for me, the big highlight of these bowls was the non-slip grip on the bottom. I like this feature on the plates as well but it’s even more necessary with bowls since my boys tend to tip them over a little more easily and since a spilled bowl usually results in a bigger mess than a spilled plate.

Little Kids Can Feel Big When They Eat with Playtex Mealtime Toddler Utensils-Giveaway

Benjamin prides himself on being a big boy but when it comes to mealtime, that can cause problems since he wants to use the same dishware, cutlery and cups as everyone else. And as hard as he tries, our standard plates, forks and glasses are just too big and unwieldy for his little mouth. Fortunately, Playtex Mommyville came to the rescue by sending me a set of the Playtex Mealtime Toddler Utensils to review. I had high hopes that this cute toddler-sized cutlery would satisfy my son’s need for independence and still let him eat with ease.

playtex mealtime toddler utensilsThe Playtex Toddler Utensils are designed so that they are the right size for little hands but still nice and sturdy like adult cutlery. Benjamin loved the fat blue handles of his special fork and spoon and I was happy to see that he seemed to find the cutlery an acceptable choice for a “big boy.”

At our next meal, I served Benjamin his dinner with his new fork and spoon. I liked the safety features of the fork; it had rounded ends so that my independent eater wouldn’t accidentally poke himself and because the ends of the cutlery were still made of stainless steel, he was able to use them confidently just as he had with the large metal cutlery. One of my pet peeves is when children’s cutlery is made of flimsy plastic that makes it hard for a child to scoop up their meal. The Playtex Toddler Utensils didn’t have that problem! [Read more...]
