A spoon and fork with stainless steel heads in chunky silicone grips shaped like a shark, in slate blue — sized for a self-feeding toddler. What age? Roughly 6–18 months — the learning-to-self-feed window. Dishwasher safe? Yes, top rack. When do we move to the kids' set? Around 18 months, when they want stainless utensils like yours.
