When mommy and I received our box in the mail from
Nuk-USA we were pleasantly surprised that it included everything a toddler would need when sitting down at the table. The following tableware is from the Gerber Graduates line and the ones we will be reviewing are recommended for ages 12-36 months but you can use them way that past age.
Mommy has been looking for a sippy cup that doesn't spill, doesn't have a lot of parts to clean and we are happy to say that this one fits the bill. This is the
Gerber Graduate Advance Developmental Cup and is for age 12m+. It does come with a hard spout and a unique control valve. This claimed to be spill-proof, leak-proof and break proof. Guess what? We put it to the test and we can absolutely say that it is indeed spill and leak proof. I've also dropped it and it hasn't broken either.
 |
| Just one piece to clean. Yay! |
 |
| The true test! No spill |
I'm accustomed to drinking from juice boxes or anything with straws. I haven't drunk from a bottle in over 5 months and mommy thought that I would have had problems drinking from this cup but there was no problem at all. I drunk it like a champ!
We then tried out the
Active Snacker. This came with a snap on lid and a removable handle so that we could use it in our stroller while traveling. We loved that the opening is made with soft rubber so it doesn't hurt my hand when I'm trying to get my snacks out. This is spill proof only to a certain extent. We noticed that because the soft rubber opening were indeed soft that it only took a little pressure if I'm holding it upside down for my snacks to fall out. They also fell out if I shake it violently as well. As long as I'm using it normally like I should then this works out fine. If only I could do that.

| Love my cup and snacker |
Next we got to use the
Kiddy Cutlery Fork Set and once again we were pleasantly surprised. Mommy has never let me use any forks other than those made of melamine before this so she was hesitant to give it to me but she should not have been worried. The edges aren't sharp and it makes it easy for me to pick my food up. I just need to practice on my grasp and I should be fine. These are great for your little toddler hands because they're not too big and not too small and the rubber gripping makes it slip free.

| My pasta was delicious and I was able to use my own special fork |
This last thing is not only perfect for toddlers but for everyone, even you grown ups. Remember when I said that these stated from age 12-36 months but can be used much later. Well this is one of those products that definitely can be. This is the
Mealtime Organizer but can be used in numerous ways besides just organizing your meals.
 |
| Compartments to store whatever you want |
 |
| Customized with my photo to make it all mine! |
Know one the greatest feature of this. It can be personalized. Mommy and I placed my photo in there so that everyone could see that it belonged to me. It comes with individual compartments that you can use to place your snacks, sandwiches, fruits or anything that you want. If you want something to store your crayons then this is also a great place to store them. Grown-ups if you want a place to store whatever you store then this is for you too. We think that the name should be changed from Mealtime Organizer to the Organizer.
Here's a note from their website about the Gerber Graduates products and we have to say we agree fully!
Gerber Graduates helps you foster your child's independent feeding with a full line of tableware products that are designed with little hands in mind. The high-quality, virtually indestructible tableware products includes sippy cups, plates, bowls and utensils will delight children and last meal after meal.

ReplyDeleteWe do too. We hope you'll buy some for your little one as well :) ♥ Madison

DeleteI love the little meal box with her picture! So cute!
ReplyDeleteYes we loved that we could customize it with anything we wanted. Mommy chose to put my picture. :) ♥ Madison
DeleteI love those snack holders, I've never seen them with a handle. I should get one for my toddler, she is crazy with her snacks, this would help keep the ground in snacks to a minimum.
ReplyDeleteThe snack holder really surprised us because you can use it with the handle and without it. ♥ Madison
DeleteNice. I can see lots of uses for the organizer past toddlerhood. Have fun with your new stuff, Madison.

We can too. This would definitely last until I start pre-school and then I can do even more with it. :) ♥ Madison
DeleteCute blog! My boys are older, but I do wish there were some of these when they were toddlers.
ReplyDeleteWell the organizer can be used past toddlerhood so there is still one thing that they can use. :) ♥ Madison
Deleteso much cute stuff. My daughter would love this, she likes to feed herself and the cuter the stuff the easier it is. Nuk has great products
ReplyDeleteYes they really do. I know your daughter would love it if you got it for her. :) ♥ Madison
DeleteI could really use the meal time organizer my 2 year old is at a stage where if any of his food touches another type of food he wont eat it!
ReplyDeleteYes I can see where this would come in handy for him. It would totally keep his food "organized". :) ♥ Madison

DeleteI am an adult and would definitely get good use out of that organizer! Also, having your picture on it would definitely deter work fridge food thieves!

DeleteVery cute and sturdy stuff. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome Kristin. :) ♥ Madison
DeleteI bought those NUK forks for H...she really enjoys using them especially for any time I make penne pasta or a hot dog for her
ReplyDeleteYes that's what I used them for in my picture as well, pasta. They worked really well. :) ♥ Madison
DeleteLove the cute animated graphic! We put NUK tablewear on our registry.
ReplyDeleteThank you. You'll love them and I hope you receive them. :) ♥ Madison
DeleteThese are great looking kids dinnerware items! I love that the cup is spillproof - a must in our house!
ReplyDeleteYes they're a must here too. Not too often you find one that does what it claims its going to do. ♥ Madison
DeleteThey are so stinkin' cute! Love that they are spillproof too.
ReplyDeleteYes we sure do love the pretty design. Looks super cool. :) ♥ Madison
DeleteI like the forks and spoons from nuk, just the right size for little hands. :)
ReplyDeleteMommy plan on getting the spoons to complete my set but I'm enjoying the fork. :) ♥ Madison
DeleteThis looks amazing. Thanks for the great review.
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome Victoria. :) ♥ Madison
DeleteNo spills!? It's a miracle. I bought some terrible ones in a five pack and the baby will throw them on the floor repeatedly and they will burst or spill EACH time. We never learn, do we? Well in fact I would learn by using nuk stuff. I always have great luck with their products.
ReplyDeleteYes we were super surprised that it didn't spill either and trust me we tried getting it to. You need to tell the name of those terrible ones so mommy won't ever get them. :) ♥ Madison
DeleteI love the whole set! No spills also! That is such a plus in my book!
ReplyDeleteWe love that its no spill as well. With a house with carpet we can't afford to have too many spills. :) ♥ Madison
DeleteWe have the forks and they are great. My 4 year old still likes to use them since he finds them easier than big forks :)
ReplyDeleteWe love the chunkiness of the forks as well. They fit great in my hands and the edges aren't sharp that mommy have to worry about me poking and hurting myself. So happy your 4 year old loves them too. :) ♥ Madison
