Wooden Baby Spoon

Description

I am a Wooden Baby Spoon. When it comes to mealtime distractions, I’m not one of them. Just a small spoon cup and handle perfectly carved for tiny mouths.

Curator’s Notes

Our parents kept our first baby spoons in the cutlery drawer till we grew up and had a kitchen of our own. Now the baby spoon holds a special place in our home until one day we might be able to pass it on as well. Items like this hold the power of memories and when made of wood, also have a special warmth. A natural material like wood is non-toxic and safe for little humans – a thought that undoubtedly crossed Ryuji Mitani’s mind when he originally created these baby spoons for his own children in the early 80’s.
