Thinking about getting these for my 6 month old. Are these good for tiny mouths or better for toddlers?

This was the first spoon we used and it's her favorite still! Sometimes we need to use two, one for her to chew on and wave around, and the other so we can feed her.

They are great for both. I bought them for my 4 month old, she is now 6 months. Reason I purchased these is because other spoons were too hard and large for her small mouth. This is soft for the gums and small for my little one. I love these spoons so much I bought more. Great Product.

Hi JLMoore, They are for tiny mouths ... 6 months is fine ... I love the fact they are made in USA .. Safer to put in your babies mouth

My son was born very small it was the first spoon i used and we still use them now. Love them.

These are perfect for tiny mouths. I used these to introduce foods to my 6mo olds & we still use them as needed. I think they would be a bit small for a toddler, but we will see. :)

I got these for my 2 year old and he was not able to fit any of the cookies in his mouth to make him choke. It does come with a spatula that I could see being an issue with a younger baby but I never had an issue

Sorry, all I can say is that they are very gentle, long lasting, and great for small mouths. I have reordered these 3 times. The bristles are white, and I don't get ant taste from them.

I believe the package said 6+ months. I think you could probably give them to a 4 or 5 month old and be fine since there aren't any small parts for a choking hazard. My baby was 6 months old when I gave them to her but she started playing with ball-like items about a month or so earlier.

They are quite likely manipulable by a 2yo, but there are smaller pieces, and the warning on the set is "not for children under 3" and the bucket is recommended for 5+ (got them for our 7yo, but our 4yo whizzed through them.) If you have an "eater" or your child explores the world by taste... then absolutely not. Otherwise, it's counter to mfg recommendation.

Yes, my 3 year old has been playing with these for a while, but he was never one to put things in his mouth. He loves it and it really helps him use his hands.

The only issue, as far as the listed choking hazard goes that I could see for a 1 year old, would be the smaller pieces with the round balls as tops. The Squigz Starter set pieces are all smooth and a smaller child could possibly put one of these in his/her mouth and have a problem getting it back out - the other pieces should be fine. You could just remove those ball pieces until the child's a little older. I see they sell a PipSquigz set now, which might be the answer for you - they look textured for a young one's senses and ease of grip. Either way, you can't go wrong! My 3 year old granddaughter's Squigz pieces are out all the time - I only wish these had been around when my sons were little. Enjoy!!

I think you would be better off getting some ear buds. These would probably not comfortably stay on a toddler head.

I don't think they are too young for a 6 year old. My son is almost 4 1/2 and really enjoys them.

I can't provide an official answer from the manufacturer, but I use them with kids ages 2 and up. I use these in my private practice with kids of all ages and they like them. The kids are 100% supervised, so choking or biting off pieces is not an issue.

These are great toys,but I think you should wait a bit. Your one year old will probably just use them for teething.

They vary in size a little bit, none of them are small enough to be a choking hazard. Most are smaller then actual size to fit toddler hands so I would say no they are not realistic in size. For my 19mo old daughter these are just perfect I am so glad I bought her this toy! We also have a Melissa and doug veggie set and fruit set (each sold separately those are for 3 and up) and those are realistic and to scale if that is important to you.

Yes, I think so -- each "leg" is 1 5/6" long (the overall length is 4 1/4"), so I think the 1 5/6" will be sufficient for reaching molars. Warning: these do break apart (after repeated chewings), so my now 6.5 year-old starts with it full-length and then wears them down. Luckily for us, he doesn't swallow them but spits the pieces out, but you should be aware in case of any swallowing / choking concerns. My son wears his every day throughout the day (but not during sleep), and he goes through them a little more than one per month. Well, depending upon his sensory needs it can be even faster. He has significant developmental disabilities but is able to understand that these are for putting in his mouth. Best of luck!

My two-year-old and four-year-old love this. But my two-year-old tends to throw them and could probably fit them in his mouth. Four is probably a good age.

They are like gummy candy, so I am sure a toddler would have no trouble. As to the dosage, you should ask your doctor.

They might try to eat or chew on them. Got this for my son around that age but he enjoyed them more closer to 1.5 to 2yo.
