A Beautiful Mess
Childhood is loud. Wild. Sticky. Glorious. And somehow, gone in a blink.
At Childish, we believe every meal shared with your child is a special occasion—whether it’s their first bite of broccoli or their third bowl of pasta this week. We created ceramic dinnerware that honors the moment.
Clean. Non-toxic. Made to last.
Plates that look like they belong at the grown-up table, but feel right at home in little hands.
No cartoon prints.
No bright plastic.
No cluttered cabinets of kid-only dishes.
Just one beautiful set, made for all of it: the bites, the spills, the giggles, the stories. The beautiful mess of family. We’re mothers, designers, minimalists, and realists. And we believe healthy meals start with the plates they’re served on.
Welcome to Childish.
Dinner is served.
Did we just become best friends?
Actually, Meg and Laura are cousins, so short answer is yes. They are also obsessed with Mahjong.
Why did we create Childish?
We saw the need for better plates for our children. Melamine is toxic. Bamboo plates use melamine polymers (adhesives). Plastic plates create microplastics that are ingested by our children. Silicone plates make the food taste like soap. Wheat straw can't be microwaved or used in the dishwasher, and their appearance is less than desirable. Therefore, we made safe, healthy ceramic plates that are beautiful, and we found ways to childproof them! See blog posts for more information on toxins.
