How to try it

Put a small cutlery tray on a low surface and give your toddler a few clean, blunt spoons. Show them how to place each one in a slot, and let them sort them back in. Do it again with a different tray.

Materials

  • Cutlery tray
  • Clean blunt spoons

Safety note

Use blunt spoons only, never knives or forks, and keep the tray away from the table edge.
