How doddl is made
How doddl is made
doddl is not the cheapest children's tableware brand. Why? Because we invest in research, testing and hiqh quality engineering and materials to ensure our products 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
Utensils
Superior grade plastic that contains no microplastics and high quality TPE. BPA-free and phthalate-free. Grade selected for high performance characteristic and safety across daily dishwasher cycles and years of use.
Food safe stainless steel ends (toddler utensils) because familiarisation with the weight, texture and taste of metal is essential for a young child before they transition to adult cutlery. Plastic-ended cutlery skips this step.
Bowls and plates
The same quality as doddl utensils, the doddl bowl and plates range are made from superior grade plastic that contains no microplastics and have dust free silicone elements. BPA-free and phthalate-free. Grade selected for high performance characteristic and safety across daily dishwasher cycles and years of use.
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.
