Children's tableware (Waterphon/Spoon/Fork/Plate/Glass)
Montessori teaching aids: learning tableware
Among the five major areas of Montessori, it belongs to daily life education, which involves practicing eating by oneself and cultivating a sense of order.
Paired with placemats embroidered with the positions of the cutlery, children will be tempted to play matching games, trying to arrange the cutlery into the pattern and tidy up the messy tabletop!
Why use glass and ceramic bowls?
We provide children with real tools.
Children know to use it with caution
If I knock over a glass of water today,
Children have the opportunity to learn how to deal with situations.
Use a rag to wipe the table dry.
Practice your ability to handle things on your own
In the big environment, due to the pursuit of speed and concerns about safety,
Many people choose tableware and bowls made of convenient materials.
But this doesn't allow him to "connect" with the real world.
The language adults use when teaching is also important.
Avoid telling your child, "This will break."
Another way to say it is: "This is a plate. You can put food on it. Place it gently and hold it with two hands."
Let children learn how to use tools correctly and "connect" with the real world

How should I feed my child when he or she is just starting to wean?
During the weaning stage,
You can use a small spoon to let your child slowly try flavors other than milk!
At first, the child will not easily accept eating with a spoon.
You can try placing the spoon on your child's lower lip.
Children will notice different feelings.
Open your mouth.
Practice swallowing and chewing food
Food is important to children.
It's the taste of my first experience.
The child may stick out his tongue.
But this doesn’t mean I don’t like it!
It's just because the kids are not used to it yet.
When can I let my baby start practicing using cutlery by himself?
When parents feed their children complementary foods,
When the child's hands take the initiative to grab the tableware,
This is the time to let your children start practicing using cutlery!
How to let children practice using small water cups?
If your child is used to using a straw cup,
When introducing a cup to your child for the first time,
Don't rush to pour water into your child's mouth
First, touch the rim of the small water cup to the child's lips.
Slowly tilt the cup so that the child's lips touch the water.
The child will have two reactions at this time.
The first is to stick out your tongue and feel what "water" is. The second is to bite the water cup.
The way the mouth works is completely different between a sippy cup and a sippy cup.
The child needs to slowly get used to the feeling of swallowing.
Practice when to close your mouth.
Water will not flow out
You can give your child a few sips of water first.
Remove the cup, look the child in the eye and say, "Swallow."
Then ask the child: "Do you want more?"
If the child indicates that he wants to drink more,
Repeat the above steps once more.
Let your child practice the feeling of "swallowing" step by step
What should I do if my child doesn’t know how to take the next bite after finishing a spoonful of complementary food?
When children are practicing using tableware,
The adult gives the child a spoon full of food.
Let the child slowly lick the food on the spoon.
At this time, the adult wants to take the spoon away and dig out the food.
The child won't let the adult take the spoon away
At this time, you can use two spoons.
One for feeding, one for the child to use by himself.
When your child finishes a spoonful of food, tell him/her, "There's no more spoons left. Here's one. Let's trade!"
Then use the scooped spoon to touch the child’s hand that is not holding the spoon, and the child will hand over the spoon!
The fork is too sharp and I am worried that my child may get hurt. What should I do?
The fork is used later than the spoon.
When the child is about seven or eight months old,
Now you can practice using a fork.
Because when the child is one year old,
There are so many things to explore,
The speed of eating will also become relatively faster.
If you start practicing at the age of one, your child may become too impatient.
If you are worried about your child getting pricked by a fork,
You can find a fork with a blunt tip. Children actually have very little strength.
When the fork is placed deeper,
The child will immediately notice that he is uncomfortable and take out the fork.
How to choose complementary foods?
Complementary foods are divided into BLW and food puree.
BLW refers to bar foods and finger foods.
Children can freely choose the food on the adults' table.
Practice gnawing, biting, or sucking on foods like broccoli.
Food puree such as carrot puree,
You can boil or steam food and then puree it.
Parents can tailor their child's needs to
Go choose the right supplementary food!
