Abstract: A hand held eating utensil having a pair of scissors like handles pivotally connected to each other at approximately their midpoints. A spoon bowl is at the forward end of one of the handles and a pusher mechanism shaped as an animal head is pivotally connected to the forward end of the other handle. As the rear ends of the handles are moved toward each other, the forward portion of the animal head dips down into the spoon bowl and pushes the food contents in the bowl forward out of the bowl. The animal head pivots downward when the handles are spread apart to minimize the chance of a child poking himself with the front end of the animal head.

Abstract: A hand held eating and drinking utensil that is constructed to be used for the dual purpose of serving as a spoon for eating and as a straw for drinking. The utensil is in the form of a spoon having a handle with a bowl for eating food as a spoon and having a handle that is hollow throughout its center for use as a straw to suck liquid or bits of food through the handle into a child's mouth. A decorative figure is attached to the handle for easier grasping and holding of the utensil while providing an amusing device for the child to play with either with or without any food or liquid thereon.
