This day I love.......

Last year the girls reviewed cleverstix and I was surprised at how quick they took to using them. My eldest at 5 is now capable of using chopsticks and both girls still love using their cleverstix. The team at cleverstix have brought out a fork and spoon set which they have kindly sent to us for our honest opinions.

The spoon and fork have been designed for little people in mind. There are no sharp edges, the handles are ergonomic to hold which means children can get the optimum grip and they work with all types of foods. The fork and spoon are made of premium quality high degrade stainless steel and this is evident with the look and feel of the spoon and fork.


My youngest is a very messy eater and she often uses just a spoon because she finds it easier. The spoon and fork set has provided her with confidence to use all cutlery. I think this is partially down to the fact there is less mess at dinner but also that they are comfortable and easy for her little hands to use.

As my youngest is about to enter full time education I wanted her to be confident at school and have the confidence to use any cutlery. The spoon and fork set has given her skills to master swivelling action for eating pastas, and has helped her hand eye coordination. I love watching her confidence develop and this has certainly been the case with the fork and spoon set.

All words are my own opinion

The girls love a picnic and with the nice weather the past week we have had a picnic everyday for lunch. I find the girls eat better when it is a picnic. I think they like the choice and variety, and that they can pick and choose items. Everything is kept finger sized and easy to eat, and I think they love eating outdoors on their very own picnic table.

The girls have certain requests for their picnic, they like olives, cucumbers, bite size cheese, crisps, pepper, pickled onions and pieces of sausage. Each cut into bite size chunks and severed in either divider plates or individual bowls. I also like to add different items, dependant on what I have in, or experiment with flavours to see what the girls like.


One of our recent experiments for our picnic has been using primula cheese. Primula cheese comes in a variety of flavours. Perfect therefore for squeezing into bowls and dipping bread sticks, olives, celery or other nibbles into. If you had a little more time to prepare food in advance the girls also really like cheese and corn muffins.

They are really simple to make, and if you think a little like small omelettes. I break 6 eggs into a bowl, add a tin of sweet corn and a squeeze of primula cheese. Mix it all well and place mixture into muffin tray. Bake in oven at 200c for 30 minutes, or until centre is cooked. The girls call these cheese and egg muffins, but they are really bite sized omelettes perfect for snacking and for picnics. You could even change the ingredients to what you have in.

When I first saw CleverstiX I had a little bit of a panic.  They asked me to take part in their jelly bean challenge and I was really worried.  I cannot and never have been able to hold chop sticks, but in the spirit of things I decided to give them ago.  I was amazed, I could use CleverstiX straight away and that had me really impressed.


CleverstiX are from age 3+ and are dishwasher safe.  For children they appear toy like, which is great because it makes meal time fun.  Both of my girls love CleverstiX and have used them for a variety of foods, even cereal [although not the milk I might add].  


CleverstiX do more than make meal time fun.  They aid in improving hand-eye coordination, dexterity and concentration.  CleverstiX can, if you wish, also be used for game playing and sorting.  CleverstiX are loved by both my girls, I think the Hello Kitty design helps too!


We were provided with CleverstiX to review, all words are my own opinion

As yesterday was Christmas I was a little too tired from the over eating plus excitement of the day to post, my apologies.  

Yesterday marked my youngest first Christmas, it also saw the first Christmas for my eldest to say 'Father Christmas has been and brought me lots of presents'.  We also had a lot of 'Wowee look at that', lots of smiles and lots of giggles.  It was a truly wonderful day which we spent with family.  Lots of eating and playing with the girls and their fantastic new presents.  I think the best way to sum up our day is in pictures:
Christmas 2012

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas too

This day I love First Christmas.
