Toddle Along Tuesday: Must Have Item

Course #1. No, I'm not kidding.
This week, I'm linking up with Growing Up Geeky for Toddle Along Tuesday! This week's topic is your current must have baby/toddler item.

For us, I can say that it's hands down our food scissors. Yes, I said food scissors. Like, plain old stuck in your knife block scissors made to cut food. With a bottomless pit for a toddler, a knife and fork just don't cut it (see what I did there?) and the scissors make it faster and easier to prep food for the beast.

They work so well, we actually bought a second set for the diaper bag. They even came with a sheath, making them all travel savvy. Sure, people give us funny looks in restaurants, but I can cut a slice of pizza into toddler sized pieces in literally a minute. Just make long cuts up the slice without going through the crust, then cuts straight across to make the desired sized pieces. Take that fork and knife.





While its not your typical baby item, it's definitely a keeper.

Have a favorite baby item you want to rave about? Just want to read a really funny/informative/geeky Mom blog? Check out Growing Up Geeky & Toddle Along Tuesday!

  2. I adore my kitchen shears and almost broke down in tears when the broke. I'm all for using them for all cooking cutting purposes. I also enjoyed your cleaning products post. I'm excited to revisit your blog regularly!

  3. I don't think I would have ever thought about that but genius idea. My 9 month old wants to eat nothing but table food and cutting it up can be a pain in the butt, especially at restaurants. I will have to steal this idea. Found you through TAT!

    1. I can't take full credit. My Mom did it for my siblings and me when we were younger. She was one smart lady. :)

  6. Why didn't I think of this for my TAT post!? We use these for every meal practically at home. So my next question is...why didn't I think of these for the DIAPER BAG? You're a genius. Thanks.
