Wooden Montessori knife for children

The Teedum children's knife is made from solid beech wood from sustainably managed forests, with a non-toxic finish based on durable natural oil that is suitable for food contact.

A Montessori knife is a kitchen utensil suited to little hands, designed to let young children safely take part in preparing real food. It encourages independence, self-confidence and the development of fine motor skills.

A child-friendly knife is a kitchen utensil specially designed for children: small size, easy grip, non-toxic materials and a safe shape that avoids the risk of cuts.

The Teedum knife is made from natural, non-toxic wood and is designed for playful use as well as for cutting soft foods.

With this type of utensil, your child can safely take part in preparing food, in a way suited to their age and development.

The best choice for a toddler is a small wooden knife inspired by Montessori education. Its non-sharp edge and natural wooden material make it much safer for little hands, while letting the child practise cutting real soft foods.

Its size is perfectly suited to young children's grip and helps them develop their fine motor skills, coordination and confidence in the kitchen. A wooden knife also offers a more realistic and rewarding experience than a simple plastic utensil.

The Teedum wooden knife is made from solid beech wood and is very easy to look after:

-Clean it with a damp cloth and a little mild soap.
-Do not immerse or leave to soak in water, to preserve the wood.
-Dry immediately after cleaning.

This guarantees the wood's longevity and safe daily use.

From 18 months, under adult supervision, to cut very soft foods such as banana or strawberry.

Around age 3, the child gains precision and can cut small pieces on their own while you cook. Around age 5 or 6, they become more independent, always with an adult nearby.

Soft, stable foods: peeled banana, strawberry, kiwi, button mushroom, cooked courgette or cucumber, soft cheese, sandwich bread.

Cut them in half lengthwise first so they don't roll: your child stays in control and doesn't get discouraged.

In 3 steps. First the rules: we only cut on the board, we hold the knife by the handle and the other hand stays in a "claw", fingers tucked in.

Then the movement without food: a slow back-and-forth sawing motion. Finally the first cut on a soft food, showing the way next to them.
