How doddl is made

doddl is not the cheapest children's tableware brand. It is the most thoroughly engineered one that will make the biggest difference to your child.

A design that is genuinely complex

The distinctive doddl shape — compact, ergonomic, weighted to sit in a child's palm — looks simple. It is not. Creating a handle that supports the transition from palmar grip to pincer grip, sized to the average two-year-old hand, required a decade of expert-led iteration and thousands of child observations.

Nine manufacturing processes

Every doddl product goes through nine separate manufacturing processes before it reaches you. Their purpose: safety, structural stability, and consistent quality in every single product. Each process exists because we identified something that could go wrong, and engineered it out.

The materials

Handles

[XXX material name + grade — confirm] Food-safe, BPA-free and phthalate-free. Grade selected for [XXX performance characteristic — confirm] across daily dishwasher cycles and years of use.

Utensil ends

[XXX steel grade — confirm] Stainless steel — because familiarisation with the weight, texture and taste of metal is essential for transition to adult cutlery. Plastic-ended cutlery skips this step.

Safety certifications

EN14372 certified and to FDA standards — European and US safety standard for children's cutlery — independently tested at Intertek.

Built to last

doddl products are designed to take a child through every stage from first bite at 6 months through to first day at school. Many families use the same set across two or more children.
