OXO Big Kid Cutlery & Plates
2012
Children between the ages of 1.5- and 2-years-old start feeding themselves. Feeding spoons are not suitable for self feeding and adult silverware is still hard to hold. Through user research with children, I gained insights about their eating behavior, how they hold cutlery, and what their visual preferences are. Children in this age group do not want to use 'baby stuff' any more, but want to use what adults use. So this cutlery set has visual cues from adult cutlery and pronounced ergonomic touch points that make it easy to hold and teach them how to use cutlery in a proper way. The plate also has an easy-to-hold rim and a rubber circle at the bottom, which prevent it from slipping on the table. The cutlery and the and plate in the original CMF options aren’t longer available, but can be ordered on Amazon and other retailers in the most recent OXO tot CMF variants.
