doddl Mealtime Development Box

The complete doddl journey

3 stages. 9 products. 3 meals a day, every day, from 6 months to 5+ years — that's around 5,000 developmental opportunities, all in one box. One investment, engineered to get every stage right.

Every mealtime between first bite and confident independent eating is a developmental opportunity. The doddl Development Set is the only complete system engineered to make every single one count — nine expertly designed products, built around three distinct developmental stages, taking your child from 6 months to 5+ years in one beautifully made box.

This isn't a collection of separate products bundled together. It's a single developmental journey: each piece engineered to meet your child exactly where they are, then hand off seamlessly to the next stage as their skills grow. From the first time they grip a spoon to the moment they confidently cut their own food, the Development Set is there — roughly 5,000 mealtimes, all accounted for.

Personalise it with 7 exclusive colours, available only at doddl.com. Make it theirs.

How It Works

Stage 1 — First Bites (6–12 months)

The doddl Baby Cutlery Set and 2-in-1 Suction Bowl are designed for the very beginning of the weaning journey. Short, ergonomic handles fit tiny hands and prevent gagging, encouraging confident scooping from the first spoonful. Strong suction keeps the bowl immovable, so your baby can focus entirely on learning to self-feed instead of chasing it across the highchair tray.

Stage 2 — Developing Skills (12–24 months)

As coordination grows, the doddl Toddler Spoon, Fork and 2-in-1 Suction Plate take over. The same ergonomic principles carry through, so the transition feels completely natural. 

• The ergonomic handles of the toddler spoon and fork align with a toddler’s developing grip, making loading cutlery successfully easier and mealtimes less frustrating

• The plate's wide, accessible shape and raised back help children succeed at loading cutlery — building the fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination that every mealtime practises.

• Engineered with occupational therapists and child development experts for the precise 12–24 month developmental stage

Stage 3 — Independence Unlocked (2–5+ years)

The doddl Toddler Knife joins the set, and the suction ring is removed from the bowl and plate — a deliberate developmental signal that your child is ready for the next level of independence.

• The knife's unique handle design uses the strength of your child's palm to safely cut through food, building genuine confidence at the table and a foundation for getting involved in food preparation as they grow.

• The ergonomic features of the bowl and the plate continue to support your child as they learn to use a non-slip bowl and plate. Suction can be easily reattached as your child learns.

The Cases

• Two travel cases — one for the baby cutlery, one three-piece case for the toddler set — both keep utensils clean,
  organised and ready for mealtimes at home or on the go, at every stage, allowing you to create consistency and enable practice at every meal.

Care Guide

To get the most from your doddl Development Set:

• Dishwasher safe on the top rack. Remove suction rings before washing to protect the suction seal and extend its life.

• Clean suction rings separately by hand or on the top rack of the dishwasher.

• To reattach the suction rings: Simply align the triangles on the ring and the base of the bowl/plate, pinch together and run your thumb around the rim. Suction will easily slot in to position.

• For the strongest suction: place on a completely flat, smooth, clean and dry surface. Wipe the highchair tray or table before each use.

• Store cutlery in the travel cases provided to keep pieces clean, organised and easy to find between stages.
