This set is intended as a safe and friendly introduction for babies and toddlers learning to self feed. The plates and utensils are made with a soft and flexable silicone.  Ways to use: -As two individual plates with suction bottoms for secure meal time. -As a meal prep or portable container when joined together. -Utensils with supervision for training. WHY WE CHOOSE SILICONE: -Easy to maintain and clean. -Durability. -Long consumer lifespan. -Planet and child friendly. -Does not release harmful chemicals and micro plastics. -Doesn't hold on to bacteria. -Can be melted down and recycled for another life. *Other recycled plastic and bamboo options can seem like the more eco-friendly choice; but when blended with various materials (i.e. suction bottoms) it is harder to recycle and breakdown in landfills. When sticking to one material, recycling and repurposing is easier and safer for our planet.
