IUM (yum) is a set of sensory tableware for kids ages 2-5 that keeps them focus on eating. During mealtime, kids tend to be easily distracted, and thus the food is seldom fully eaten; they do not get enough daily nutrients and often produce wasted food. How might kids maintaining their concentration in eating? By integrating both color and sound into tableware, IUM not only encourages participation, but also creates an enjoyable and interactive eating experience for children. It helps kids to eat in a delightful way and eases the tension between their parents and them at the dining table.
