Stay-put Bowls and Spoons

20111117016

Babies are just naughty, and they never seem to obey what you tell them while still act in their own way: taking anything they get as toys and frequently throwing them away…… That’s enough, as here now comes some innovative tableware especially created for babies and kids. With a strong suction cup at the end, these bowls, spoons or forks can easily stick onto the tables so that your babies can never drop them on the floor. But as these gadgets may help parents a lot, they’re actually destroying your babies’ happiness of throwing their things anywhere, so really sorry to babies.

With a 30 degree slope at one end, the bowl can still stand on table steadily even when your hands suddenly tremble.  Also, its wooden handle makes taking up hot bowl no longer a difficult thing. That’s so sweet!

Take Easy Bowls

Have to think to myself, what a simple but effective design!

Essentially you’re using a bowl that can stand steadily on tables and there’s no need worrying about it turning over. [Read the rest of this entry...]
