Lately my now two-year-old is truly acting like a two-year-old, especially when it comes to sitting down to eat dinner with the family. He either won’t eat at all and goes off to play or insists on sitting on his big sister’s favorite barstool instead of his “special” chair. What’s a mom to do? Usually I’m too exhausted to fight the dinnertime scene so he gets his way, but now that I have something truly enticing (besides Mom’s meatloaf) for mealtime he needs no encouraging (aka bribing) at all!

What’s my secret weapon? It’s George’s new children’s cutlery set from TreBimbi, a line of children’s cutler designed by Italian design house Rivadossi Sandro. His new Trebimbi Puppets 3-piece flatware set has a design that can’t help but be fun. With stainless steel body (just like Dad’s) and a polypropylene handle perfect for little hands Trebimbi has taken the typical toddler knife, spoon, and fork to a whole new, extremely chic, extremely kid friendly level. George loved how his fork and spoon (no knife yet, babe) snap together and was delighted by the smiley face etched on the steel. The puppets click together for easy storage, which Mom loves, and are dishwasher safe. Coming in a variety of colors you can mix and match the sets all you want.

Trebimbi also offers a fabulous 6-piece dining set in coordinating colors. Trebimbi products come packaged in a great little gift box, and so your little one can have his cake and eat it too, Trebimbi products can be found at your local Target or at Target.com (just search for Trebimbi). Yes, I said Target. So if you’re looking to experience a more mellow mealtime I highly recommend Trebimbi’s Puppets 3-piece flatware set. Think of it as encouraging good etiquette (i.e. peaces) at the dinner table. It’s SO worth it! –Emily
