“After two years of hard work, Desrochers officially launched Pick-Ease and a new website this summer. Pick-Ease is BPA-free and made entirely in the USA. The Pick-Ease mold, and the products themselves, were made at Rihani Plastics in Cranston. Barrington Printers, which is pretty much across the street, made the packaging and found a printer in California that could make the specialty decorative labels Desrochers needed. She ships them from her house.”

One Mother To Another
“I had been following Melissa from Pick-Ease on Instagram for several months before I approached her about this product. Having seen the pictures of her kids using Pick-Ease, I was really intrigued by how it would work for a young toddler that was between self-feeding stages: at 14 months, Chase has mastered finger foods, but still struggles with a fork and spoon. I wanted him to develop the fine motor skills necessary for fork and spoon manipulation, but he gets easily frustrated with his inability to feed himself with them and gives up quickly every time. I thought the Pick-Ease might be a nice transitional tool.” Read More…
