When small children are learning to eat on their own, the right tableware plays an important role. A good children's plate not only makes mealtime easier and more manageable for the child – it can also help create pleasant moments at the table. Whether it’s for everyday meals, birthdays or picnics, there are many different types and designs to suit both function and style.

In this article, you’ll get an overview of what to consider when choosing children's plates, as well as an insight into the different materials, shapes and brands available on the market.

The article presents a selection of children's plates in various materials, sizes and designs. The goal is to provide a broad picture of the available options, making it easier for you to find a plate that suits your child’s age, needs and daily life. The product information is based on publicly available descriptions from manufacturers and retailers and is summarised to provide a clear and informative overview.

Factors to consider when buying a children's plate

When choosing children's plates, there are several practical and functional aspects that can make a big difference in everyday life.

1. Material and durability

Children's plates come in many materials – from silicone and bamboo to plastic and melamine. Silicone is flexible, non-slip and often withstands both microwave and dishwasher use. Bamboo and wood give a natural look but require a bit more maintenance. Melamine and plastic are lightweight and robust but should be free from BPA and other harmful substances.

2. Compartments and shape

Plates with compartments help the child keep food separate, which many small children prefer. Round plates resemble adult tableware and can be good when the child gets older and more independent. Some models have a suction cup at the bottom so they stay in place during meals.

3. Design and colours

A fun design can make mealtime more motivating. Many manufacturers offer plates with animal motifs, characters or muted Nordic colours that fit into modern homes. Consider whether the plate should match other children's tableware such as cups and cutlery.

4. Cleaning and maintenance

Most parents appreciate plates that are dishwasher safe. If the plate is made of natural materials such as bamboo, it should be hand washed and dried thoroughly. Avoid plates with many small corners and edges where food residue can get stuck.

5. Price and use

The price depends on material and design. A cheap plastic plate can be great for everyday use, while a more stylish silicone or bamboo model can be a good choice for gifts or special occasions. Consider how many plates you need – it can be practical to have several in rotation.

Different types of children's plates

There are many types of children's plates, each with its own advantages depending on the child’s age and the family’s needs.

1. Silicone plates

Silicone is popular because it is non-slip, flexible and easy to clean. Many models have a suction cup at the bottom so the plate stays on the table – ideal for children who are still practising eating on their own.

2. Bamboo and wooden plates

These plates provide a natural and aesthetic look. They are often divided into sections and may have a silicone base for better stability. However, they require a bit more care and should not be used in the microwave or dishwasher.

3. Melamine and plastic plates

Lightweight models that withstand rough use and are easy to take on trips. They come in many colours and designs, but it’s important to ensure they are free from harmful chemicals.

4. Stainless steel plates

A more durable and sustainable choice that can be used for many years. They are easy to clean and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, but can become hot if used for very hot food.

5. Multifunctional plates

Some models can be used both as a plate and a storage container, making them practical for packed lunches or leftovers. They can often be stacked and closed with a lid.

Different brands of children's plates

The market for children's tableware is broad, and several brands specialise in functional and aesthetic solutions.

Mushie

Mushie is known for its minimalist design and use of BPA-free silicone. The brand focuses on soft colours and shapes that fit into modern homes, while the products are practical and durable.

Done by Deer

Done by Deer combines playful design with functionality. Their products often feature animal motifs and are designed to support the child’s development and independence during meals.

Liewood

Liewood offers sustainable products in silicone and bamboo with a focus on Nordic design and environmentally friendly materials. Their children's plates are popular for their quality and aesthetics.

Sebra

Sebra is a Danish brand that makes children's products with a focus on quality and safety. Their plates are often made of melamine and come in many colourful and cute designs.

BabyBjörn

BabyBjörn has for many years produced functional baby equipment, including children's plates with a non-slip base and ergonomic shape that make it easier for small hands to eat independently.

Frequently asked questions

Which material is best for children's plates?

It depends on your needs. Silicone is practical and non-slip, while bamboo and wood are more natural choices. Melamine and plastic are lightweight and robust but should be free from BPA and phthalates.

When should you switch from bottle to plate?

Most children start eating independently around 6–9 months of age. A children's plate with a suction cup and compartments can be a good starting point when the child begins with solid food.

Can children's plates be used in the microwave?

It depends on the material. Silicone usually withstands microwaving, while melamine, plastic and bamboo should not be used in the microwave as they can be damaged or release substances.

How do you best clean children's plates?

Most silicone and plastic plates are dishwasher safe. Bamboo and wooden models should be hand washed and dried thoroughly. Avoid leaving them in water, as this can damage the material.

How many children's plates do you need?

It’s practical to have at least two to three plates so there’s always a clean one ready. If the child eats many meals at home, a set with several can be an advantage.
