Product Information
Full details
The Tiny Dining Soft Tip Bamboo Fork is designed for young children learning to self-feed, offering a durable and safe utensil with a fun splash of color. Its key benefit lies in the child-friendly handle and reinforced silicone tip that makes picking up food easier. A minor consideration is that while the bamboo is strong, the silicone tip may show wear with prolonged, aggressive use.

Troubleshooting
Fork feels rough after washing
This can occasionally happen with natural bamboo. Gently wipe the handle with a food-safe oil (like mineral oil or coconut oil) to restore its smoothness.
Silicone tip is discolored
Discoloration from certain foods is normal for silicone. Wash thoroughly with soap and water. For stubborn stains, a baking soda paste can be gently applied and rinsed.
Bamboo handle has a slight odor
Rinse the fork well and allow it to air dry completely. If the odor persists, a light scrub with a baking soda and water paste can help neutralize smells.
