ABSTRACT:
A utensil holder for infants and toddlers is made up of a generally triangular handle having a hollow gripping area and a utensil-supporting portion at one side of the handle which converges forwardly and terminates in a socket end portion for insertion of a complementary shank end portion of a utensil. In another preferred form, an eating utensil is disposed with its eating surface facing in a direction substantially parallel to the longer dimension of the handle so that when the handle is grasped and held in a palmar, upright position by the infant, the eating surface can face upwardly for placement of food thereon and insertion into the infant's mouth. In the alternative, the utensil can form a permanent part of the supporting portion at one side of the handle but in either form the handle is longer in a direction transverse to the direction of entry of the utensil into the infant's mouth than the longest dimension across the infant's mouth to prevent lodging of the handle therein.
