Bunny Enamelware Bowl & Cup

• $26
• The Baby Gardener

This rabbit makes us think of the start to spring and we like enamelware as an alternative to plastic, melamine and ceramics for kids. It's also dishwasher safe and the bowl has a lid for storing leftovers. Also in pink or blue.

I was never the set kind of girl. I didn't have small parties in my bedroom with my stuffed animals or pretend to eat fake cookies with my Cabbage Patch doll, though this set makes me wish I had! Forget those "safe plastic sets" as the price is perfect for a starter play set — did we mention the inside of each cup is shaped like a heart? Awwww how sweet! More

Children's Pottery Sets

Perhaps the most charming dining sets we've seen for children. Handmade in Pittsburgh in several winsome designs (robots, tugboats, bikes) by Junji and sold by his wife Kristen in their Etsy shop. These sets would make a truly special gift.

I can imagine my kids' faces were I to set down this tree of marshmallows on the table. Truth be told, my enthusiasm for these food trees by Mangier probably would rival theirs. They're both artfully sculptural and functional. More
