Every time I look in the cupboard to grab a plate or cup for our kids I am reminded that we really need to find non plastic BPA free dishes, preferably unbreakable dishes for kids. With all the warnings about BPA leaching into our food (especially when microwaved) I really don't want that stuff any where 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 nearly unbreakable dishes!
You can find Duralex unbreakable dishes for sale at Amazon
You can also find a good deal on Duralex unbreakable dishes for sale on eBay with a few Kidishes on there from time to time as well.

If you are looking for another non plastic option for school lunch containers check out our post on LunchBots - unbreakable dishes, or rather lunch containers made from stainless steel. Well ok, stainless steel isn't usually associated with unbreakable dishes but that was my theme here so I'm sticking with it.

Thank you for stopping by Sudha, she is a cutie isn’t she and a fun way to promote kidishes – but she is Zoe – the daughter of the company ZoeB Organic that sells kidishes not my own. Take care and stop by anytime.

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.
