"Food picks [and brush] are great because they’re engaging and help kids start to interact with the food in a playful way."

Why our food picks & brush work
Irresistibly Fun
You'll notice our design is unique - they almost look like toys! (Psssst....that's actually a good thing!) Kids learn about food best through play.
Our picks encourage play, imagination, and exploration. When you allow them to learn this way, you will see them build confidence, become more comfortable, and learn to enjoy all types of foods.
Comfort is key
For hesitant eaters, traditional utensils (forks/spoons) remind them of eating. This can cause anxiety and increased reluctancy to eat or even come to the table.
Our food picks or brush can be used as playful tools that often helps kids feel more comfortable around foods. Many take the leap and begin interacting with the food without having to touch it.
When they are ready they'll have more willingness to try a taste or bite!
Build Confidence
Sometimes kids will take a leap and try completely new foods, but, it's more often that they need several times of seeing/smelling/touching a new food before they are ready to try it. Professionals call these experiences "food exposures".
Even if your child isn't ready to taste a food yet, our food utensils can help them get closer to becoming confident and comfortable around that food. Our food picks help encourage participation in mealtimes which helps breakdown mental barriers they have associated with new foods.
Easy to Use
Our special blunted tip design adds an extra layer of safety for littles ages 2+.
We didn't stop there! You'll notice our dual prongs and unique ring design allow for increased food grip. This makes young kids more successful in "poking" food without it falling off and prevents frustration.
After months of testing, we are proud to say our picks perform the best on soft, small, and/or wet foods compared to everything else on the market.
