Parents are often seduced into buying limiting and expensive toys for their children when a collection of spoons is often a much better learning resource. Time for you to make the case for the simplest of utensils offering the best of learning opportunities for under-threes, and to make the most of them in the nursery.
Create a collection of spoons for children to use in the nursery. You could also create collections for parents to borrow to use the ideas opposite.
Try to be creative as possible in putting together your collection. Check out the likes of www.amazon.co.uk for ideas. For example, see Kitchen Craft Colourworks Munchkin Mighty Grip Fork and Spoons by Lindam (£2.49) or the 10 Piece Measuring Cup and Spoon Set from DSD (£5.99), and then there's the Big Bargain Tadpole Tea Spoon Strainer from the Big Bargain Store (£1.66).
