    Abstract: The illuminated washable spoon includes a main spoon body having a concave distal portion and a handle portion. The handle portion is hollow and has a depressible section adapted to depress when the handle portion is held. An illumination mechanism is located within the handle portion. The illumination mechanism includes a power source, an on/off pressure switch and a light. The on/off pressure switch is located at the depressible section of the handle portion such that when the handle portion is held, force toward the handle portion caused by the holder depresses the depressible section, activating the pressure switch and illuminated the light.
