This is a great first bowl for your baby. Made from certified organic bamboo, it's easy for little hands to grasp and shaped to help avoid spills. A healthy alternative to plastic bowls. The natural shape of the bamboo culm (the specific name for a bamboo 'stalk') makes an ideally sized small bowl for children. There are no glues or adhesives used. The bowl is tapered to give it a well-rounded rim, so there are no hard edges. Hand wash with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly Food safe; phthalate-free and BPA-free CPSC Tested and approved; meets US code CFR Title 16 Not recommended for dishwasher or microwave use
