Carla do you mean your one and two year olds self serve? When you have 5 kids at a table there is no sense in wasting bowls for two of the five to self serve since they would only get what was left over from me serving the infants and toddlers anyways. The little ones can't even manage their own spoon to feed themselves let alone use a serving spoon. Really not sure that is appropriate in most home care situations unless you have no under twos.
