Mama Manifesto: Friday Giveaway: Over the Moon for Boon

When we saw the company "boon" and their tagline "innovations for modern parents", we knew we have to investigate. What we have learned is that is a company that is creating some fun and innovative stuff for parents to use with their kids. They are also working hard to create products that are safer for our kids, and we are big fans of safer stuff in our kids' world!

We are excited to offer two cute Boon products for our giveaway this week:

The Catch Bowl is a toddler bowl with a built in spill catcher attached.
The extends toward the child, funneling runaway food back into the bowl. Made from easy-to-clean soft material, the food catcher flexes when bumped. To help avoid bigger spills, a suction cup bottom keeps the Catch Bowl firmly in place. Unlike many of the other "suction bowls" on the market, this one actually stays put through the entire meal in my home. I have been thrilled with the fact that my son can now shovel apple sauce, tomato soup and cereal w/ milk into his mouth without creating a work of modern art on his t-shirt. This product is also BPA, phthalate and PVC free!

The Bender Utensils are a perfect set for beginners. When first-time eaters start using utensils, their motor skills are not fully developed. Benders adaptable utensils were designed to help make the transition to regular utensils a little easier. Parents can position the adjustable end to the perfect angle to accommodate the child's grip. As motor skills develop, you can adjust little by little, until straightened.

My kid is not a toddler any more, she's 6. But because she has a congenital birth defect and her mouth only opens a tiny bit, much of her food ends up back on the table. And because she is a very active child and is not so good at the sitting still during meals, there is always plenty for the dog to clean up later. I'd love to give the bowl a chance.
ShannonFebruary 20, 2009 at 5:58 AM
My mom was telling me about those spoons...or something like it that my brother and I used to have. I'd love to try them with my seven month old. He always wants to try the spoon himself, but the food usually ends up in his eye. :)

I was so happy when Target started carrying Boon products, I'm really tempted to buy the catch bowl and the snack ball. My son is very independent and he likes to do everything on his own. Unfortunately he drops 90% of his food on his clothes, and god forbid he put on a bib...thats so babyish!
Tammy JamesFebruary 20, 2009 at 4:23 PM
That bowl looks AWESOMe!! LOL .. Its one of those 'OMG why didn't I think of that it is so simple' ingenious products!
LaceyFebruary 20, 2009 at 4:57 PM
The bowl and spoon set would be perfect for my daughter who just turned ONE this week. It is time for little miss to start learning how to feed herself with a spoon.....

Ooh! The boon catch bowl would be perfect for my little one! She is just learning to feed herself. It's a fun process to watch and experience, but cleaning up afterwards is a big mess!

The fact that it's free of all those nasty chemicals is a big plus too!
