Make Mealtime Fun with Silikids {A Review & Giveaway}

**Product received for review. All thoughts are my own.


Have you heard of SiliKids- the innovative line of children's silicone kitchenware?


I was first introduced to this wonderful company last summer when I was given the chance to review the SiliKids drinking glasses- an eco friendly alternative to traditional plastic cups! These adorable glasses quickly became a favorite in our home, and at nearly a year later are one of the firsts that my son reaches for! You can read my original review on these glasses here, but here is a quick reminder on the benefits of silicone:






  • Silicone is made from silicon (an element found in sand, quartz and rock). It is the second most abundant element on earth. It does not react with food or drinks, produce hazardous fumes or transmit taste to food. It's hypoallergenic and does not promote growth of bacteria or fungus.
  • Silicone is nontoxic and does not contain bisphenol-A, lead, PVC and phthalates.
  • It's durable so it will last for many years...and when the time comes, it can even be recycled too!!




    As I said, we were already fans of the SiliKids brand for their drinking glasses, but did you know that they offer much more? Bowls, place-mats, bibs... so many great options! So, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to try out two new products- the Silispoon and Siliskin Bags.




    First up, the Silispoons:


    The perfect eating utensil for young children starting to eat solid foods. Silispoon features a textured handle to stimulate tactile experience and a wide spatula style head to make it easy to scoop up food. This fun easy to grip spoon is certain to encourage independent eating habits. Available as a 2 pack with Graze and Haze spoons and with two different textures in the set.


    First up, I could not get over how FUN these were!! This fun design not only served a great purpose (making them easy to hold and use), but also made them absolutely adorable! I wanted to use them myself and my kids were in complete agreement! They loved them! The vibrant colors, the fun textures, the ease of use... what was not to love? They were truly ideal for little hands learning how to eat!


    Next up, the Siliskin Bags:

    These translucent silicone sandwich/snack bags make it easy to see what’s inside! Silibags feature an embedded closure to keep the bag sealed shut. A gusseted bottom allows the bag to stand up for easy snacking and the bag can be written on with washable markers. The Siliskin® Bag isompletely dishwasher and microwave safe and can be boiled to sterilize. Available as a 2 pack.

    Now, when it comes to snacking on the go, we have tried a little bit of everything. Metal, glass or plastic containers serve their purpose but tend to be bulky and inconvenient on the go. Disposable snack bags are not only not an eco-friendly option, but they also get rather costly! Cloth snack bags worked well and offered more flexibility, but we found them to be rather difficult to clean. The Siliskin Bags were just the solution we were looking for! They were flexible enough to toss into my bag without taking up too much room, but much easier to clean than a cloth snack bags. Aside from that, they are also safe to use in the microwave, freezer, etc... making them incredibly versatile! I have found these to be ideal for both snacking on the go and at home, as well as a fun addition to my son's lunchbox- and since I can write on them as well, I can leave him fun lunchbox notes!! These are truly a fun addition to any kids' kitchenware collection!
