I have cried as my babies outgrew their cribs, their clothing, and their toys. Every time I have to sort through their stuff and pack it away, my heart squeezes a little. But I didn't realize babies also outgrow their dishes too! We recently upgraded to this printed glass dish ware from Brinware, which makes me feel better though!

Once those sweet little eco-friendly dishes and spoons made of corn got too small for the food my boys eat, it was time for a more grown-up set of dishes. Our new printed glass dish ware keeps a playful atmosphere at the table. These charming designs come from the makers of tot tableware: Brinware!
Brinware glass dishes and containers offer a visual feast while my boys load their plates with veggies! I cannot keep these dishes cleaned and returned to the table fast enough for my boys! They simply clamor for them every meal!
Safe materials for food!
Brinware sets feature artistic renderings of gardens and oceans, farms, and other charming graphics printed onto glass plates and containers. Glass? you say. Yes, tempered glass, which is cushioned by brightly colored silicone sleeves. The sleeves provide color and protect the glass for greater durability, and keep the dishes from slipping around on the table. Non-slipping dishes are a must when you have toddlers and preschoolers, as they move around in their seats a lot! The silicone sleeves also remove easily for dishwasher cleaning!
I love that these dishes are made with glass instead of plastic, so I don't have to worry about BPA, lead, or phthalates. And, they are dishwasher and microwave-safe. Since glass is naturally BPA-free,and silicone is made from naturally occurring silicon, they are non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and don't retain odors.
Having tempered glass is very important for food ware, because it's manufactured with rapid heating and cooling to become more durable and strong.
Beautiful artistry adds to your meal!
Safety in products is my prime concern, but isn't it lovely when products are also beautiful? I love surrounding my kids with beautiful things, so they will develop a natural appreciation for art and beauty. The scenes on Brinware dishes have the visual effect of etching, but they are really printed with lead free ink before the glass is tempered, which bakes the ink onto the glass.
Some dishes are sold individually ($11.99), but Brinware also has sets of dishes ($19.99) like our It's a Hoot and School of Fish Dish Set, packaged in a lovely gift box.
Oh and can't get enough of these adorable plates? You can brighten up your cupboards with Brinware's line of glass containers ($14.99)! Our new Brinware container just makes me smile whenever I fill it up with fresh, whole foods for the kids. Truthfully, I am claiming this one as "Mom's Lunchbox" this school year! The soft silicone sleeve is die-cut with matching artwork, so you can see through the container to know what is inside. This is a small container great for veggies or fruit, or perhaps a small sandwich (it's 5.5"x5.5"). Thankfully it's also freezer safe, so I can throw leftovers into it for serving later.
