The box is for travel u. Excursions really handy. The fork works as it were wonderful, even though it is a plastic fork. Ie. You can eat impale good and the food stops at the fork. The spoon also fulfills its purpose wonderfully and the food adheres well to / in it ... sometimes maybe a little too good, often remains a part of the food sticking in the spoon. For children who may already eat soup, the depth of the spoon is certainly good. The cutlery is used almost daily by us (even at home).
