Children's Cutlery Grips: Soft Silicone Support for Little Hands

Children's Cutlery Grips are soft, silicone sleeves designed to fit over a child's own fork or spoon, making the handle bigger, softer and easier to grip. They are made for children with reduced hand strength, poor grip or motor coordination difficulties, including children with SEND or other learning differences who find standard cutlery hard to hold onto.

How They Help

The added silicone bulk and texture increase the size of a thin cutlery handle, giving a child more surface area to grip and more control over each mouthful. The grips are fully washable and long lasting, making them suitable for repeated use at home, in school dining halls and out at cafés and restaurants. Each grip weighs 30 grams, so they add very little extra weight to the cutlery itself.

For parents and home use

• Help a child hold their own cutlery independently at mealtimes, reducing frustration for both child and parent.
• Slide onto the family's existing forks and spoons, so there is no need to buy separate adapted cutlery.
• Fully washable, so they can go straight into the family's normal washing-up routine.
• Take them along to cafés and restaurants for easy eating out away from home.

For schools

• Support independent eating during school lunches for pupils with reduced hand function or fine motor difficulties.
• Simple to fit onto a school's own cutlery, with no specialist training needed for lunchtime staff.
• Durable and washable, suitable for repeated use across a term without needing frequent replacement.
• A low-cost, practical addition to a school's existing SEND or occupational therapy equipment.

For children with SEND or broader learning differences that affect hand strength or coordination, everyday tasks like holding a fork can be tiring or frustrating. These grips are designed to reduce that effort, so the child can focus on eating rather than gripping.

Beyond cutlery, the same grips can be used on pencils, pens and toothbrushes, extending their usefulness well beyond the dinner table.

Children's Cutlery Grips are available in blue, grey and red. Please note that the knife and fork shown are for illustration only and are not included; you insert your own cutlery into the grips.
