If you have children I'm sure you wish you could find unbreakable dishes for kids (and even us big kids could use some dishes that don't break when they slip out of our slippery post dish washing fingers). Sure there are those ugly plastic dishes but every time I grab a plate or cup for our kids I think we really need to find non plastic BPA free dishes for kids. With all the warnings about BPA leaching into our food (especially when microwaved) I really don't want that stuff anywhere near my kids. So I usually gamble and give them our quite breakable good dishes... and face the wrath of Brandi when she scolds me for letting the kids use her artsy dishes. (so far I have been lucky but if ever one should break I'll be sleeping on the couch for a month)
But where can I find BPA Free unbreakable dishes for kids?
Just today she handed me a torn out page of a Parents magazine in which they had a little blurb about Kidishes - BPA free dishes for kids, drinking glasses, bowls and plates that are made out of Duralex tempered glass.
I know you are thinking give glass dishes to my kids - yeah right! The thing is these Tempered glass dishes are supposed to be 4 to 5 times stronger than standard glass because they are made through extreme heating and rapid cooling, thus quite possibly those unbreakable dishes we've been searching for - and because they are glass dishes they are BPA free!

These dishes DO break
I bought these dishes after my son had to have brain surgery at 2 yrs old. He is 5 now and jus fine, but we got rid of all plastic. Klean Kanteen sippy cups, LunchBots, and even stainless steel ice cube trays. The dishes from ZoeB are less likely to break on wood floors, but since we have moved to a house with tile in the kitchen, we have broken (on average) at least one dish per month – we have the cups, bowls, and plates… Maybe we are just extra clumsy?!
Sorry to hear you haven’t had as good of luck with the Kidishes (I’m sure glad your son is doing well though!)
I suppose they make those tiles floors pretty indestructible too so they don’t break all the time – the battle of the unbreakables.

That is quite an amazing thing you have there!
BPA isn’t something to mess with. While it may not be seen by the naked eye, it surely is something that the body could “see” and “feel”. These kidishes could certainly make it easier for parents to protect their children from awful compounds like BPA.

That’s so true, and unfortunately it is in more places than we realize – like the inside of food cans like soup or canned vegetables – or even the plastic pipes that carry water to our homes.

In our house, our boys (we have 5 ) are the ones in-charge of washing dishes so we really need these unbreakable dishes. Are there unbreakable mugs too? We just broke a mug.
Yes Nicole they do have glasses (not sure about mugs) but there are glasses, and I’m sure there must be Duralex tempered glass mugs out there too.

Are all Duralex dishes unbreakable?
I am not sure if Duralex dishes has the capacity to have that but i guess their quality is much more okay than using some ordinary products.
@RG and Andrea – yes Duralex dishes are basically the same as Kidishes since they are both made with tempered glass. These “unbreakable dishes” are made through extreme heating and rapid cooling, thus making them harder and less apt to break than regular glass dishes.

Do you know of any bpa dishes for kids giveaways that I can blog about?
Not off hand Jessica, but I’ll keep my eyes open for ya.
Wow! Very impressive household utensils. I love BPA free glass and dishes for its wonderful unbreakable advantage. I always appreciate this kind of dishes and glasses for my kids. Thanks a lot!
I definitely need some of these in my house! The amount of money I have spent on broken plates is getting silly.
