“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.”

Mealtime can be a challenging time for many sensory kids. This can be due to attentional issues, fine motor challenges making utensils difficult, or Sensory Processing Disorder that brings challenges with the texture, smell, and taste of many foods. Melissa Desrochers, a mom and an owner of a day-care business, saw a need with her own picky eaters at home and through her profession. She also notices that these same picky-eaters loved eating off toothpicks and Pick-Ease was born! Read More…

“I know a few awesome mamas who make their child’s lunch SO cute every day. I’m always amazed at their talent!

Cookie cutters and fun tools like Pick-Ease have helped me do this easily!” Read More…

Kid Food Ideas

“When you have slaved away in the kitchen to prepare a homecooked meal for your family, nothing hurts more than having your cooking be rejected.

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…

“My toddler is an INCREDIBLY picky eater. He has his certain foods he loves that ARE healthy (grapes, cheese, yogurt, apple slices, etc), but he doesn’t like trying new foods and he’s definitely not a fan of meat…He has gotten better about trying new foods with the Pick-Ease.

Mom Does It All

“Like a lot of other parents, I have found that when I put my daughter’s food on a toothpick, it makes her eagerness to eat multiply. But toothpicks are also sharp, pointy objects that many children like to stick up their nose or even in their ears. With Pick-Ease, you do not have to worry about any of that.”

“Kids love eating things with toothpicks, right? I know our kids do, and I even remember being drawn to foods with toothpicks when I was a kid. Toothpicks themselves aren’t safe, and breaking off the ends is time consuming (and doesn’t exactly make them much safer). Pick-Ease offers a fun, safer solution – a kid friendly toothpick.”
