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.
A Family Journey Toward Safer Dinnerware
We’re cousins, moms, and the founders of Childish. Our journey began with a simple need: safe, beautiful dinnerware for our children, free from plastic and endocrine-disrupting materials. What started as a search for better options became a commitment to create durable, non-toxic ceramic plates that bring care and joy to every family meal.
Why We Started Childish
We created Childish because we wanted something better for our children. Many common kids’ dinnerware options come with hidden concerns — melamine can release toxins, bamboo is often bound with melamine adhesives, plastic sheds microplastics, silicone can alter the taste of food, and wheat straw isn’t microwave or dishwasher safe. We chose ceramic instead: safe, durable, and beautiful. And with thoughtful design details, we’ve made it truly child-friendly. (Learn more about toxins in our blog posts.)
