Tiny Helpers – Products that grow with your child, from first purées to toddler snacks

From those very first messy spoonfuls to toddler independence, your tableware doesn’t have to be a throwaway affair. Discover how clever little essentials can grow with your child — and save you from a fair bit of faff along the way.

Do you remember the first time your little one tried purée? The wide-eyed curiosity, the scrunched-up nose, and, of course, the inevitable splat on the floor. Feeding is never just feeding when you’ve got a baby; it’s an adventure. And while we can’t promise to save your walls from a pea explosion, we can talk about how the right products can truly grow alongside your child.

Take silicone sucker bowls, for instance. They’re not just handy for babies who think launching food is a sport (we’ve all been there, haven’t we?), but they also stick around for toddlerhood. As your little one graduates from purées to finger foods and beyond, these bowls go from “mum’s best defence against flying porridge” to “perfect snack companion for busy toddlers.”

And it’s not just bowls. Pacifier holders, storage baskets, even those soft-lined nursery organisers — they’re more than just nursery décor. They’re tiny helpers, designed to make the everyday run smoother. When products are made thoughtfully (and BPA-free, naturally), you’re not constantly replacing things. Instead, they simply evolve with your child, quietly saving you time, money, and the dreaded cupboard clutter.

That’s the thing about parenting — it’s not about having every shiny gadget, but about choosing pieces that last, that serve you through the wild ride of babyhood into the toddler years. Little helpers for little people. And honestly? They give us grown-ups a breather, too.
