The OXO Tot Silicone Plate is designed with newly independent eaters - and their parents! - in mind. The entirely silicone construction stands up to all sorts of banging and tapping without breaking, and it's BPA-free for total peace of mind. This plate features a weighted base that prevents accidental tipping to keep tables neat. The extra weight also reduces the temptation to play with the plate and experiment in tossing it onto the floor. , , The high walls of the plate curve slightly inward to help toddlers get more food onto their spoons as they scrape the sides. The walls also provide support for fingers learning to pinch and pick up small bites, making it perfect for building confidence in new skills and for getting food into hungry tummies. This plate is designed to fit little hands and can be easily carried by toddlers who want to do everything themselves. It's microwave safe for warming up meals and dishwasher safe for fast, parent-friendly clean-up.
