Kids' ceramic dinner plate with a watercolor shark illustration and a silicone base for stability and durability.

Why Childish Plates Are the Best Ceramic Dinnerware for Kids

As kids grow out of sippy cups and snack trays, their needs at the table evolve — but most dinnerware doesn’t. It’s either designed for toddlers (and covered in cartoon animals), or it’s built for adults with no consideration for small hands, developing motor skills, or a child’s sense of wonder.

Childish Plates is here to change that.

We’ve reimagined what dinnerware for kids should be: safe, sustainable, functional, and beautiful. Here’s why our ceramic dinnerware sets aren’t just another alternative — they’re the better choice for families who want to serve meals with intention.


   

Designed for Children — Not Babies

Most plates made for kids are really meant for toddlers. Childish Plates is different. We design for school-aged children who are confident eaters but still benefit from ergonomics and stability at the table.

  • Rounded plate edges help scoop up tricky foods.

  • Wide, weighted bases support motor skills and reduce spills.

  • Grip-friendly designs make independence easier (and less messy!).

This isn’t babyware in disguise — it’s real dinnerware, made just for kids.


Ceramic: Beautiful, Durable, and Safe

Each piece is made with FDA-approved ceramic — not plastic, melamine, or composites.

Why ceramic?

  • Naturally non-toxic and free from microplastics, forever chemicals, BPA, and melamine.

  • Microwave and dishwasher safe, every day of the week.

  • Sleek and timeless — looks beautiful on any table, not just the kids’ table.

We pair our ceramics with removable FDA-approved silicone bases that:

  • Prevent sliding & increase durability

  • Make gripping easier

  • Flip over to become lids for leftovers


Ocean-Inspired Art That Makes Meals Fun

Our designs transform mealtime into an underwater adventure. Each set features watercolor illustrations of:

  • 🐋 Whale Sharks

  • 🐙 Octopuses

  • 🦈 Sharks

  • 🛸 Manta Rays

These aren’t cartoon animals — they’re detailed, educational, and magical. We want kids to be curious, engaged, and proud of what’s in front of them at the table.

A Mom-Founded Brand That Gives Back

Childish was created by two moms who couldn’t find beautiful, safe, non-toxic dinnerware made for kids. So they made it themselves — and built a mission alongside it.

A healthy meal starts on a healthy plate.

We proudly partner with local and national charities, supporting child wellbeing beyond the table.
