The Best Melamine Plates for Families
We divvy out chores in my household, and honestly, the kids have loved to help from a young age. When Greta was 2 or 3, she started unloading the dishwasher, just because that’s what she saw us doing. Now it’s Polly’s chore to set the table for dinner because our older two girls walk the dog and feed the dog. When she started this at five years old, I wanted to find kid-friendly plates that felt manageable for her but still fit our modern traditional aesthetic. That’s when we fell in love with melamine plates.
The Benefits of Melamine for Kids and Outdoor Entertaining
And honestly, now we use melamine dinnerware most of the time! If someone else sets the table, we may use our stoneware, but unbreakable melamine holds up surprisingly well and is easy for little hands to handle.
It’s also the perfect solution for:
- Outdoor Place Settings: No more worrying about broken glass on the patio!
- Dishwasher Safe Cleanup: It’s lightweight and easy for kids to load and unload.
- Heirloom Style: It now comes in an incredible array of colors and patterns that look exactly like high-end ceramic.
