Define feeding tools

1 answer

Feeding tools are instruments or utensils specifically designed and used for feeding oneself or others. These tools help facilitate the process of transferring food from a plate or bowl to the mouth, making it easier and more efficient. Common examples of feeding tools include spoons, forks, knives, chopsticks, tongs, and spatulas. These tools can vary in size, shape, material (such as plastic, metal, or wood), and design, depending on cultural preferences and specific dietary needs. Feeding tools are essential for individuals who are unable to eat with their hands or who require assistance with feeding due to physical limitations or disabilities.
