Boon Review and Giveaway (Ends 5/11)



Boon generously sent me their Groovy and Benders pictured above for review. The Groovy is an interlocking plate and bowl set where the 2 orange bowls are movable and removable. The Benders are adaptable utensils which bend so that you can adjust them to your needs as they are learning to use forks and spoons! Both are BPA, pvc ,and phtalate free!
I love Boon, their products are so clever and the are visually appealing too, which I think is really important (that is the art educator in me). I was really excited to try out the Groovy because of how well it separates the food (moms of picky toddlers all know how the food is not allowed to touch!) I also loved the idea of interactivity idea of the bowls both for myself in choosing how I would serve the food and for my kids. The Groovy lived up to all of my expectations and more! not only does it do all the things I listed above, but it has a non skid bottom which I thought was really great too and it is dishwasher safe on the top rack which is a must in my house. So this was a winner.

I was also super excited to try the benders out because I thought the concept was so unique! I have never seen bendable utensils before! My daughter uses utensils regularly but she still falls back on using her hands often, she turns the spoon or fork upside down half of the time, and she has difficulty with toddler sized utensils scooping out too big of bites. So for all of those reasons I thought this would be a great product to try with her! She seemed to like them, and dug right in using them correctly! They are smaller sized since they are intended to train babies to use toddler utensils so it is easier for her to get the right size bite. The are also dishwasher safe so I think they are winner!

I have always wanted the frog pod for bath toys. I actually need a new storage solution for bath toys so maybe I'll buy one soon.

My nephew has the Fluid toddler cup. It actually makes me jealous because when I was that little I so did not have fun and functional things like that. At 9 months old, if you hold it up for him he drinks from it perfectly!
