I purchased a set of these in blue for our son when he was 2. He's now almost 7 and they're still in good shape and being used by our 3 year old daughter. They've been dropped and put through the dishwasher too many times to count. The handle shape is easy for kids to hold and the metal utensils are easier to get food with (compared to thicker plastic utensils). I bought this set specifically for our daughter since her favorite color is pink and they seem to be of the same great quality.
