Description

A spoon, fork and knife set that works with your child's hands — however they grip, whatever their challenge.

For children with dyspraxia, low muscle tone, cerebral palsy or other motor differences, standard utensils are often genuinely impossible to use. The doddl three-piece set is designed around a whole-hand grip and a palm-action knife — making all three mealtime tools achievable without fine finger control.

Why families supporting children with additional needs choose this set:

Whole-hand grip on all three utensils
Palm-action knife — the first knife that works for many children with motor challenges
Stainless steel ends are effective, durable and easy to clean
Recommended by pediatric occupational therapists
No case included — pairs with the doddl toddler utensil case if consistency across settings is needed

How it works

Ergonomic design: Short, contoured handles are designed for little hands, and are easy to grip and control

Supports development: Soft-touch grip zones naturally encourage proper finger positioning and pincer grip use

Safe & effective knife: Teaches a safe cutting motion while actually cutting food (with no risk to your child)

Functional utensil ends: Rounded fork prongs and spoon bowl are designed for effective self-feeding without sharp edges.

Scientifically weighted: Expert weighting is designed to be easy to manoeuvre but develop muscle strength

Development Benefits

Achieves all three key mealtime skills — scooping, stabbing and cutting — without requiring fine motor control
Builds genuine independence: a child who can cut their own food has reached a significant milestone
Reduces the need for adult support at mealtimes, which is meaningful for children and families alike
Each achievement — however it arrives — builds confidence and a positive relationship with food

Product FAQ's

Is this set suitable for children with cerebral palsy?

Yes. It is frequently recommended by OTs for children with cerebral palsy — the palm-action knife in particular allows safe cutting without the fine motor control that standard knives require.

What is the difference between this set and the set with case?

This set does not include a travel case. For consistent tools across school, therapy and home settings, we recommend pairing with the doddl toddler cutlery case.

Are the utensil ends metal?

Yes — high-quality stainless steel ends.

Is it dishwasher safe?

Yes.
