Определение и Значение "food pusher"

What is a "food pusher"?

A food pusher is a small utensil used primarily by infants and toddlers during mealtime. It typically consists of a straight or curved handle with a flat, blunt end, often made of plastic or silicone. The purpose of a food pusher is to assist young children in pushing food onto their utensils or guiding food towards their mouth while they are learning to feed themselves. They help promote self-feeding skills and encourage children to explore different textures and flavors of food during mealtime. Additionally, food pushers can also be used by adults with limited mobility or dexterity to assist with eating and food manipulation.
