If you pick up a set of Creative Eating’s Construction Utensils, you’ll have to switch from making airplane sounds to fly the food into your toddler’s mouth to a more growly, asphalt-gnashing sound.
Rather than a knife, this three-piece set features a bulldozer designed to push food onto the Bob-the-Builder-esque fork and spoon. Or around the plate. Or off the plate. The textured handles allow for tots to easily grip the utensils themselves, so really it’s your best guess where the food may end up.
Available from Cooking.com for $16.95.
