When children learn to eat on their own, the right tableware plays an important role. A good children's plate can make mealtimes more organised, reduce spills and at the same time create a cosy atmosphere at the table. Whether you're looking for a practical everyday solution or a cute gift idea – there are many options that combine functionality, design and durability.

In this article, you'll get an overview of what to look for when choosing children's plates, as well as an introduction to different types and brands that offer quality products for the youngest members of the family.

The article presents a selection of children's plates that represent different materials, designs and functions. The aim is to provide a comprehensive insight into the options available on the market so that you can more easily choose the type that best suits your child and your everyday life. The information about the products is based on publicly available descriptions from manufacturers and retailers and has been summarised to provide an informative overview.

Factors to consider when buying a children's plate

When choosing children's plates, it is important to consider both practical and educational aspects. Here are some of the most important factors to keep in mind.

1. Material and durability

Children's plates come in many materials such as silicone, bamboo, plastic and melamine. Silicone is flexible and non-slip, while bamboo offers a natural look and is often biodegradable. Melamine and plastic are lightweight and sturdy but should be free from BPA and other harmful substances.

2. Compartments and size

Divided plates can help the child see their food clearly and keep different foods separate. This can be especially beneficial for picky eaters. At the same time, the plate should be the right size to suit the child's age and appetite.

3. Non-slip base and suction cup

A non-slip base or suction cup can prevent the plate from falling to the floor. This keeps things calm at the table and makes it easier for the child to practise eating independently.

4. Cleaning and care

Check whether the plate is dishwasher and microwave safe. Silicone and melamine are often easy to clean, while bamboo requires a gentler approach. A plate that is easy to keep clean makes everyday life simpler.

5. Design and colours

Colours and characters can make mealtimes more fun. Many children eat better when the plate has a motivating design – perhaps with their favourite animal or in a fun shape. At the same time, a simple design may fit better with the rest of the family's tableware.

Different types of children's plates

There are many types of children's plates, and the choice depends on the child's age, eating habits and the family's needs.

1. Silicone plates

Silicone plates are popular because they are non-slip, flexible and durable. They are dishwasher and microwave safe, and many models have a suction cup on the bottom to keep them on the table. Perfect for young children learning to eat on their own.

2. Bamboo plates

Bamboo plates have a natural and sustainable look. They are lightweight but should be hand washed to maintain quality. Many models combine bamboo with silicone bases for better stability.

3. Melamine plates

Melamine is a classic choice for children's tableware. It is lightweight, sturdy and available in many colours and patterns. However, melamine should not be used in the microwave, as the material can be damaged at high temperatures.

4. Divided plates

Divided plates help the child separate their food and can make it easier to introduce new flavours. They are available in plastic, silicone or bamboo and are particularly suitable for young children.

5. Plates with lids or sets

Some plates come as part of a set with a lid, cutlery and cup. This is practical for lunch boxes, outings or when you want a coordinated look at the table.

Different brands of children's plates

The market for children's plates is diverse, and several brands specialise in functional and child-friendly solutions.

Mushie

Mushie is known for its minimalist designs in muted colours and products made from food-grade silicone. The brand combines aesthetics and functionality, making it popular with modern families.

Done by Deer

Done by Deer offers colourful and playful designs that appeal to children. The products are often made from melamine or silicone and match other pieces of the brand's children's tableware and textiles.

Liewood

Liewood focuses on sustainability and Nordic design. Their children's plates made from silicone and bamboo are both practical and stylish, and many feature cute animal motifs.

Sebra

Sebra combines classic Danish design with functional materials. Their plates are often made from melamine with beautiful illustrations that match Sebra's wider children's universe.

EZPZ

EZPZ specialises in silicone plates with an integrated suction function that makes it almost impossible for the child to tip the plate over. They are popular with parents who want a practical and calm mealtime.

Frequently asked questions

When should you start using children's plates?

Most people start when the child begins eating solid food – typically around 6 months of age. At first, a small bowl or divided plate can be practical, and later you can switch to larger models.

Which material is best for children's plates?

That depends on your needs. Silicone is non-slip and easy to clean, while bamboo is a more natural choice. Melamine and plastic are sturdy and affordable but should be free from harmful substances.

Can children's plates go in the microwave and dishwasher?

Silicone is generally both microwave and dishwasher safe. Melamine and bamboo should not be used in the microwave, and bamboo should be hand washed to maintain quality.

How can you prevent the plate from slipping on the table?

Choose a plate with a suction cup or non-slip base. This provides stability and makes it easier for the child to eat independently without the plate moving.

How many children's plates do you need?

Two to three plates are usually enough for daily use. That way, you always have a clean plate ready while the others are in the dishwasher.
