The maroon spoon is ideal for feeding therapy when using shallow or narrow bowls. It is perfect for working with children with problems such as poor lip closure, oral hypersensitivity or tongue thrust. While extremely tough and break-resistant, these spoons are plastic so we do not recommend using them with clients with severe bite reflex. The spoon is dishwasher safe. No heated drying.
The shallow bowl design is a godsend for our therapy sessions—my son can finally scoop without scraping his knuckles on the rim. It’s sturdy enough for daily use and the color’s a nice change from all the boring plastic.
We’ve been using this with my daughter during her feeding sessions, and the narrow bowl really helps her keep her lips sealed around the spoon without spilling. It’s sturdy enough for her to grip herself, which has made practice feel more like play.
The shallow bowl shape is a game-changer for my son’s feeding therapy—it lets him scoop without overfilling, which was our biggest struggle. It’s also small enough to fit in narrow containers, so we’re finally making progress on his lip closure without a messy counter.
