Abstract

A holder and utensil assembly for use by small children comprises a utensil having an elongated handle with a free end and an operative end. The utensil can be a toothbrush having a brush head at the operative end. The free end of the handle includes an enlarged shape that defines a sporting implement. The holder defines the shape of a human sporting figure and includes arms that extend outwardly and are sized and arranged to cradle the sporting implement shape. When the holder is mounted on a flat surface, such as a wall, the utensil can be attached to and removed from the arms typically through a narrow space provided between the hands of the arms.
