These cute little bowl will add fun to mealtime for toddler’s who are beginning to self feed, or older children who need a smaller bowl for snacking. I love this hip design which is modern and fun. Designed by Jackie Shapiro, this bowl is dishwasher safe and built to last. You can purchase one for $9 at blackwagon.com.

I am a sucker for cute little dish sets like this one from Baby CIE.  Somehow these beautiful, coordinated sets lull me into the belief that meal times will be clean and uneventful.  That never quite happens, but the sets sure are cute, and my kids always love them.

The Baby CIE Ballerina Dish Box Set is a top of the line set.  It includes a great divided tray, a spoon, a bowl, and a cup.  All are made of high-quality melamine and feature an adorable print of poodles and ballerinas labeled in French.  Any little girl will love this set, and it would make a great gift.  You can purchase one for $34 at MilkShop.com.

This is a very sweet little set of dishes that would be perfect for a toddler who is just learning to eat independently or for a slightly older child.  This Dish & Cutlery Set is decorated with fanciful illustrations from the book Children of the Forest by beloved Swedish author Elsa Beskow.

The set includes a plate, a bowl with a suction cup bottom, a mug with a lid, and matching cutlery.  The set is completely dishwasher safe for easy clean up, but it cannot go in the microwave.  You can purchase the set for $39.95 at ThreeSistersToys.com.
