@mamaot_shannon: Want your toddler to get better at using a fork? 🍴 Stop waiting until they “know how” to use it! I recommend introducing a fork around 12–18 months. The more opportunities they have to practice, the more efficient those fork skills become! Start with foods that are easy to pierce but don’t immediately fall apart: 🍝 Rotini or penne 🧀 Cheese cubes 🍖 Soft, quartered meatballs 🥕 Soft canned green beans or carrots Expect lots of stabbing, dropping, switching hands, and finger-feeding at first. 😂 That’s all part of learning! #ToddlerFeeding #ToddlerMeals #ForkSkills #FeedingTherapy #PediatricOT
