Skip Hop always delivers hip yet practical products for infants and toddlers that won’t destroy your budget.  Their Table Fun Feeding Sets are no exception.  Available in several fun designs, these sets include a plate, a bowl, a sippy cup, and a spoon and fork.  I particularly like this Sea Critters set, which is appropriate for either a boy or a girl.  The sea critters that decorate each piece are as cute as can be.  Designed by artist Eleanor Grosch, they are sure to delight your little diner. Everything is made from high-quality melamine, and is dishwasher safe for easy clean-up.

You can pick up one of these fun sets for $24 at MamasAndMunchkins.com.  It would also make a fun gift for an older infant or toddler.

If you love the bold designs of Marimekko, check out this great mug and bowl set.  Made especially for kids, the set includes a functional bowl and mug decorated in Marimekko’s popular Unikko pattern designed by Maija Isola.  This European-made set is sure to be a favorite with children because of its eye-popping colors and pattern.  Parents will love its appearance, too, along with the fact that it is both dishwasher and microwave safe.  What more could you ask?

You can purchase this set on sale for $29.95 at Oliebollen.com.  I think it would make a fun gift, and I know a lot of adults who would love to won it too.

Baby on the Go Feeding Set offers us moms an alternative to everyday Tupperware or Rubbermaid containers when we’re packing a take-along lunch for our children. I like this set because it’s child-serving-sized and  with its bright pink (or blue) coloring, it’s easy to spot in the dishwasher or in the back seat of the family car. I also like the carrying case which neatly fits all the necessities. It looks like a perfect idea for trips and picnics.

This portable meal and snack set includes 4 sippy cups with 8 lids, 2 bowls with lids, 2 fork and spoon sets, and 2 small serving cups with lids. It comes packaged in a multi-use carrying case, and would make a great gift for mommies on the go.

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.
