Beep! beep! Racing Car Dinnerware

Forget the time-honoured tradition of pretending a forkful of food is an aeroplane, landing on the runway of your child's open mouth. If your reluctant eater is a motor enthusiast, how about having his or her dinnerware arriving at the table in its very own racing car? The knife and fork are little cars too, so your baby's tongue can become Brands Hatch instead of Heathrow airport. Well, it's good to have a little variety in life.

Available from the splendidly-named Pussy - but I have seen the same set listed on Amazon.co.uk, too.
