Constructive Eating

This giveaway is now closed with 213 comments. Thank you to all who entered. Congratulations to the lucky winner ~ Dee!

Getting children to eat without the use of their hands can sometimes be a challenge. Sometimes grown up utensils just don't work well in their smaller sized hands. This is where Constructive Eating comes in handy.

I received their Constructive Eating Utensil Set. It includes one Fork Lift Fork, one Front Loader Spoon and one Bull Dozer Pusher. Cute, right?!? When I saw the set, I was worried about contaminents, but I'm happy to announce that Constructive Eating's utensils contain no paint, lead, BPA, PVC or Phthalates. Only FDA approved materials are used. RIGHT ON! A product that is safe for our children.

My older son really loves the look of these utensils, but it's my daughter that enjoys them the most. This set is great for younger children and would be a perfect way to introduce utensils at an early age. The Bull Dozer Pusher is really helpful and this set is so fun for kids to use. Just look at it. What kid wouldn't get excited about using them?!

Constructive Eating would like to offer one lucky reader a Constructive Eating Utensil Set!
