Bowls tip. It's one of the more reliable facts of feeding a toddler. The Skip Hop Besties Squad Silicone Bowl in Green reduces the frequency of that happening without requiring a suction base that may or may not come off at the wrong moment. Made from 100% food-grade silicone, the bowl is naturally slip-resistant against flat surfaces, microwave safe for reheating cereal and pasta directly in the bowl, and dishwasher safe so it goes straight from the table into the rack. 12.7 x 12.7 cm - sized for a toddler portion without being a vessel they're eating out of for the next twenty minutes. Signature Skip Hop illustrations sit at the bottom of the bowl, visible once it's cleared. For 2 years and up, and built to last well past that.
Why silicone is the right material for a toddler bowl
Plastic toddler bowls have three problems: they crack after a year or two of regular use, they stain from tomato sauce and orange-based foods, and they warp in the dishwasher over time. The Besties Squad Silicone Bowl is 100% food-grade silicone, which doesn't crack on impact, doesn't hold staining, and doesn't deform in a dishwasher cycle. It's also microwave safe, which plastic bowls frequently are not at the temperatures needed to reheat children's food properly. The slip-resistant base is the silicone material itself - there's no suction cup to fail or to be removed by a determined toddler mid-meal.

The hidden illustration at the bottom of the bowl
Signature Skip Hop illustrations are printed at the base of the bowl, hidden under the food. When the meal is finished, the illustration appears - a small discovery that works better than most parents expect as a motivator for finishing cereal, fruit, pasta, and the other staples of toddler mealtimes. It's one design detail in a bowl that has several - but it's the one that tends to come up in conversations about what makes the Besties Squad range worth buying. The Green bowl coordinates with the Besties Squad Silicone Plate in Green and the Fork and Spoon Set in Green for a complete matched table setting.
Sizing for the actual portion a toddler eats
At 12.7 x 12.7 cm, the Besties Squad Silicone Bowl is sized for toddler portions rather than adult servings scaled down. A bowl that's too large for what a child will realistically eat creates an expectation problem before the meal has started. The Besties Squad bowl fits the right amount of cereal, soup, fruit, or pasta for a 2-5 year old, and it's light enough to be manageable when a child is starting to carry their own dishes to the table. It goes into the dishwasher alongside the rest of the table setting and is back in the cupboard by the next meal.

Why Parents Choose the Besties Squad Silicone Bowl
The Besties Squad Silicone Bowl earns daily use because silicone handles the daily-use demands that plastic doesn't: no cracking, no staining, no dishwasher warping, and microwave safe for direct reheating. The natural slip resistance means it stays put on the table without a suction cup that a toddler will inevitably discover how to remove. The hidden illustration at the bottom rewards finishing what's in the bowl. And for parents building a matched Besties Squad table set, the Green bowl pairs with the Green plate and Green fork and spoon set for a complete coordinated mealtime setup.
The Besties Squad Silicone Bowl is suitable from 2 years. It's sized for toddler portions and is light enough for a child to carry independently to and from the table.
