Zilverstad Airplane Children's Spoon, Silver

We bought this for our soon-to-be-born baby girl. First child. :) My husband is Active Air Force, so we thought it'd be super cute to have an airplane spoon to actually 'fly' into the landing strip that will be our child's mouth when introducing her to food. We wanted something that would be able to withstand time and wasn't made of plastic. We looked for similar items so that we could have this last for this first child and, hopefully, any subsequent children we may be so blessed with. Either way, similar options we found were hundreds of dollars. We were not willing to pay so much for a spoon, but this was the perfect find! Great quality for the cost! Looks just as depicted, though perhaps shinier. Comes as a mirror finish. We love how it looks and cannot wait to use it after she's born and of age to start trying foods. What a way to make trying new foods fun!

I bought this for a grand-nephew. It's a great design, far better than 99% of other offerings. But, the spoon itself is not coated, it's metal, a risk for babies and their growing teeth. I didn't think of that. This would be perfect if the part of the spoon that enters the mouth was coated with something soft. He would have loved this.
