Skip Hop Besties Squad Fork & Spoon Set - Green
$19.95
Self-feeding is one of those milestones that looks simple from the outside and turns out to need every bit of help it can get. The Skip Hop Besties Squad Fork and Spoon Set in Green gives toddlers from 12 months the right tools for the job: stainless steel heads that are durable and food-safe, soft silicone handles sized and shaped for small hands still building grip and coordination, and a raised handle design that keeps the eating end lifted off the table surface between bites. Less mess, fewer bacteria transferred from surfaces, and a set that genuinely fits the hand that's holding it. Dishwasher safe for the kind of cleanup mealtime actually requires.
Why the raised handle design matters at mealtime
When a toddler puts down a fork between bites, the eating end goes wherever it lands - table, tray, the side of the bowl. The Besties Squad Fork and Spoon Set has a raised handle that lifts the tip off the surface when the utensil is resting. It's a small engineering choice with a real outcome: the part of the fork that goes in your child's mouth stays cleaner between uses without any intervention from you. At 12 months and up, when children are still learning to put utensils down deliberately rather than just dropping them, that raised design does quiet work in the background of every meal.

Stainless steel heads: the material choice that holds up
Some toddler utensil sets use plastic heads that flex, scratch, and eventually split. The Besties Squad Fork and Spoon Set uses stainless steel for the eating ends - the same material standard in adult cutlery, scaled down for the bowl sizes and portion amounts a toddler is working with. Stainless steel doesn't absorb flavours or odours from food, won't discolour after dishwasher cycles, and doesn't require replacing after a few months of use. The silicone handle is where the toddler-specific design thinking shows up: soft enough to be easy to grip, textured for traction, and sized for hands that are still small.
Building the Besties Squad table
The Besties Squad collection is designed for children who are ready to eat at the table with their own matched set. The Fork and Spoon in Green coordinates with the Besties Squad Silicone Plate and Silicone Bowl in Green, the Snack Cup, and the full range of Besties Squad feeding gear. Children who eat from a set they recognise as theirs tend to engage more readily with mealtime - ownership is a surprisingly effective strategy for getting a toddler to the table.

Why Parents Choose the Besties Squad Fork and Spoon Set
The Besties Squad Fork and Spoon Set earns its place in the kitchen drawer because it solves the actual problems of toddler mealtime: utensils sized for the hand holding them, a material that survives the dishwasher on rotation, and a stay-clean raised handle that quietly reduces the mess-to-surface contact between bites. It's not a novelty set - it's designed to be used every day and to hold up to that use. For parents building out a Besties Squad feeding set, the Green Fork and Spoon coordinates with the matching plate, bowl, and snack cup in the same collection.
The Besties Squad Fork and Spoon Set is suitable from 12 months. The ergonomic silicone handles are sized for small hands that are beginning to grip and self-feed independently.
The fork and spoon heads are stainless steel. The handles are soft-touch silicone. The set is BPA-free throughout. Both utensils are dishwasher safe.
The handle on each utensil is shaped so that when the fork or spoon is placed down on a flat surface, the eating end (tip) is raised off the surface rather than resting flat against it. This keeps the part that goes in your child's mouth cleaner between bites without any action needed from you.
Yes. The full set is dishwasher safe, making it practical for daily use and childcare settings where utensils are cleaned frequently.
Yes. The Besties Squad Fork and Spoon Set in Green coordinates with the Besties Squad Silicone Plate and Silicone Bowl in Green. The full Besties Squad range includes snack cups, bottles, food jars, lunch bags, and backpacks across Unicorn, Elephant, Dino, and Cat characters, as well as colour-matched tableware.
