What is a children’s tableware
Children’s tableware refers to special tableware for children. Because of age, it is necessary to make special designs for this age group. Such as color, thermal conductivity, chemical volatility, grip design, cup cover design, and assistance. Functions, etc. · Different tableware should be designed for children of different ages depending on the age group.
Material
Children’s tableware is divided into: sugar cane fiber tableware, ceramic children’s tableware, wood children’s tableware, plastic children’s tableware, melamine children’s tableware, rice husk children’s tableware, stainless steel children’s tableware, children’s antibacterial tableware, bamboo fiber children’s tableware, polylactic acid ( PLA) Children’s tableware, silicone children’s tableware. Among them, children’s tableware made of different materials will have different advantages and disadvantages.
Stainless steel tableware for children
Advantages: resistant to falling and corrosion.
Disadvantages: strong thermal conductivity, heavyweight, cannot hold salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and other spices for a long time.
Polylactic acid children’s tableware
Advantages: Polylactic acid (PLA) is a new type of biodegradable material that is purely natural and biodegradable after disposal. It is non-toxic, greener and safer.
Disadvantages: Not suitable for long-term high-temperature disinfection.
Wooden children’s tableware
Advantages: safe and lightweight.
Disadvantages: susceptible to microbial contamination leading to mildew, not paying attention to disinfection, easy to cause intestinal infectious diseases.
Plant fiber children’s tableware
Advantages: derived from plant fiber, biodegradable, environmentally friendly and healthy.
Disadvantages: Do not soak in water for more than 3 days, otherwise it will decompose and cannot be directly baked in the oven or fire.
Characteristics
Color
The color of children’s tableware should use bright colors as much as possible. The Swiss psychologist Piaget said, “Children’s thinking starts from the action, cutting off the connection between action and thinking, thinking can’t be developed.” Brightly colored tableware can increase children. The movements and stimulating the child’s nerves to keep the child’s movements and thoughts connected so that the brain develops as quickly as possible.
Modeling
Need to consider the child’s use characteristics and physiological characteristics. Example: When a child learns to use chopsticks at the age of 2-3 since the child’s brain is not mature and is not as flexible as an adult, it is necessary to use the auxiliary method to make the child use it correctly. The design of cartoons on the exterior fosters children’s dietary interest.
Resistance to falling
Children often use tableware to fall to the ground. Choose a tableware that falls off the ground at 60-80CM and is not easy to break. Prevent damage to children.
Thermal conductivity
The child’s skin is less sensitive to heat and heat. It is necessary to prevent the child from being burned.
