Utensil help for toddler

💕

My almost 3 year old doesn’t use silverware very well yet. Anything that clings to the spoon, like yogurt, she will use a spoon for. Anything else, she maybe will try a couple bites and get discouraged she isn’t getting it right away and go back to using her hands

We offer utensils with every meal. I’ve tried just letting her do it on her own without saying anything, asking her to use her spoon, holding it with her to help scoop something up, baby utensils, adult utensils. But usually I just have it out and don’t make it a big deal and just hope she tries using it

Any advice? Any specific utensils that are good for learning to use silverware? She definitely needs practice with her fork more. She is soooo gentle so she doesn’t quite get the stabbing motion to get anything on the fork
