Plate-Mate for Kids

Toddlers are quite a challenge when it comes to feeding time, which is where the My Plate-Mate for Kids comes in.
My Plate-Mate is a children’s teaching aid for eating that can be used with any 8″- 9 ½ ” plate. Imagine a product that could assist a toddler in learning how to eat with a utensil and plate, without the usual mess and clean up! Well, My Plate-Mate does that…It helps toddlers learn how to eat like a big kid, while minimizing the mess that comes with toddler meals. Children gain self confidence and are less frustrated during meals with My Plate-Mate.
Well, I guess anything that helps parents have an easier time when feeding their toddlers is always a plus point in my book.

You can read our experiences with it over on Coolest Reviews or buy online from the Orli Shop.

Knork evolves on the fork

We have forks and spoons, and now here’s a brand new eating utensil known as the Knork. It makes the many millions around the world who love cutting food (especially cakes) with the side of their fork happy, and the Knork was specially shaped in order to cater to that habit. Plastic Knorks are sharp enough to cut through raw carrots, and from the picture above it apparently makes a pretty good opponent against a juicy slab of steak. One thing though – whenever I cut my steak, I’ll normally need a fork to hold the meat in place while the knife gets to work…something to ponder upon here.
