For children who have some level of hand-eye coordination, doddl is designed to work with their hands — however those hands work.
The toddler spoon and fork handles are short and contoured for whole-hand use. Children who struggle with the pincer grip, who have low muscle tone, dyspraxia or limited wrist control, often find that doddl is the first utensils that genuinely works. The travel case supports consistency — the same familiar tools at every mealtime, wherever that happens.
Why families supporting children with additional needs choose this set:
- Whole-hand grip — fine finger control is not required
- Short handles reduce the effort and precision needed to bring food to the mouth
- Soft-touch zones reduce sensory discomfort from gripping
- Recommended by pediatric occupational therapists, including for children with dyspraxia, low muscle tone and autism
- Travel case supports routine and consistency across settings
- No timelines. Works at whatever pace is right for your child
The award winning innovation in toddler and baby dining.
Why doddl?
What the experts think
Penelope Henderson
Children's Nutritionist
"I love the unique design of doddl cutlery. The short, moulded handles fit perfectly in little hands and have a soft middle for a comfortable grip. I also love how they support motor skill development like dexterity and coordination, making self-feeding easier. The toddler knife helps build cutting skills safely, giving parents peace of mind. With easy-to-use cutlery, little ones can explore a wide range of foods and gain early exposure to new tastes and textures. I’d definitely recommend these to parents."

“The doddl baby feeding set has been such a lovely addition to our weaning journey. The 2-in-1 bowl is sturdy, well-designed, and sticks perfectly to the highchair tray. The cutlery set fits beautifully in little hands, helping babies build independence and confidence with self-feeding. They are short and even though the handle is chunkier they are super light. I love how well it supports fine motor skill development and encourages proper grip from early on, key steps in learning to eat independently. The carry case is another win for me: we take it everywhere! It keeps the cutlery clean, safe, and ready to use whether we’re out for a meal or travelling.
From a mum and a child nutritionist perspective, I really value products that make feeding fun, practical, and developmentally supportive and this set truly ticks all those boxes.”

“I’ve been absolutely loving using the doddl cutlery set with my family. It’s really helped my daughter to hone her skills around self-feeding with a spoon and fork. I love the fact that they are made for little hands and make the idea of self-feeding so much simpler. Ada really has come on leaps and bounds since using them and is now able to do the “scoop” action by herself. My son also loves using the knife and fork and is getting much better at his cutting skills. It’s great that they just need to push down and apply pressure to cut their foods and, again, that they are made with little hands in mind. Such a great way to help them to transition to adult cutlery!”

“As a feeding specialist and a mother, I was so delighted to discover doddl cutlery after it was recommended by a friend. I was so fed up of buying cutlery that wasn’t working to support my baby with his self-feeding development. doddl cutlery was perfect for him and within days he had mastered the loaded spoon and was stabbing and eating with his fork. The perfectly designed handles are short and fat which makes them easy to grab and simple to bring to their mouth. My son loved eating at the family table with his doddl cutlery – he was participating in our family mealtimes before he was walking!”
