  • Our 3 in 1 bowl offers parents flexibility when feeding their child at home or on-the-go, served up with a side of fun! Parents can choose to use the bowl to provide 3 unique eating experiences such as: 1. Attaching the clip-on straw, making it easier and more fun for kids to drink and eat soup or cereal 2. Inserting the flexible snack insert transforming the bowl into an on-the-go snack holder 3. Using the bowl as-is or with tear-drop edge for easy sipping Separate storage lid makes storing left-overs, or taking food on-the-go, a breeze.

  • Our design has been specifically developed with a baby/toddler's level of dexterity in mind. The bowl is ergonomic and easy to hold, making it accessible to the child, facilitating learning through ease of use. The bowl's low to the table and wide handles prevent spilling, and allow the child to hold the bowl when sipping or eating with a utensil. The tear-drop shape funnels the liquid into the mouth and encourages “hold and sip” when using without the straw. The straw is child sized, but thin enough to avoid large food items being sucked up and posing a choking hazard. Silicone makes it soft and safe on gums. The child is in control of the eating process, further encouraging interactive use.

  • The bowl encourages the child to “eat it all up”, by making it fun to eat or drink everything from the tear drop shaped portion, or suck up the last drop through the attachable straw. Thus, creating fun and positive associations of finishing everything in the bowl and decreasing food wastage. Children are more able to partake in the same eating options as other family members with food items such as, soup; facilitating a sense of inclusivity and independent eating. This also opens up the possibility for other food options from an earlier age. Colours are fun and bright and the outside is slightly textured to encourage interaction by stimulating the senses.

  • Practical design allows for space saving storage when not in use, or maximum stackability when being used for food storage in the fridge. The bowl's sizing is just right for portability. Tight-fitting storage lid ensures dry food stays put when tossed in parent's bag or diaper bag. All components are BPA, Phthalates and PVC free, and dishwasher safe.
