Silicone: for safe, fun teethers and toddlers’ cutlery

For teethers and toddlers’ cutlery, silicone offers safety, comfort and fun, helping both children and parents during the early stages of kids’ development.

Silicone has quickly become one of the most trusted materials in modern baby products, and it’s easy to see why. One of its greatest strengths is its safety. Food-grade silicone is non-toxic, hypoallergenic and free from harmful chemicals such as BPA, PVC and phthalates. This gives parents peace of mind when babies are chewing, sucking or learning to feed themselves; which, as every parent knows, means items spend a lot of time in little mouths. Unlike some other materials, silicone does not splinter, crack or degrade easily, making it a reliable and long-lasting choice.

Comfort is another key reason silicone works so well for teethers and toddlers’ cutlery. For teething babies, silicone provides just the right level of softness to soothe sore gums while still being durable enough to withstand constant chewing. Its gentle flexibility is far kinder than hard materials, and its smooth texture feels reassuring for babies exploring through their senses. For toddlers learning to use cutlery, silicone’s lightweight, soft-touch finish makes items easier to grip and control, helping build confidence and coordination.

Hygiene is also a major advantage when it comes to the use of this material in teethers and toddler’s cutlery. Silicone is non-porous, meaning it doesn’t absorb moisture, odours or bacteria. Teethers and cutlery can be easily cleaned, sterilised or placed in the dishwasher without losing their shape or quality. This makes silicone particularly well suited to busy family life, where convenience and cleanliness matter.

Finally, silicone supports practicality without sacrificing fun. It can be moulded into playful shapes, calming colours and child-friendly designs that make mealtimes and teething feel more positive and engaging. With its durability and ease of care, silicone is a material that truly grows with a child.
From soothing sore gums to supporting independent eating, silicone offers safety, comfort and everyday usability, making it the perfect material for teethers and toddlers’ cutlery alike.
