Best Eco Children’s Tableware Design | Junior Design Awards 2022

When it come to eco and earth friendly tableware for children these are the only designs we will add to the dining table

Who:Eco Rascals

What:Bamboo Suction Plates

Why:

The perfect plates for eco conscious parents who don’t want dinner thrown against the wall. Or at least, not a whole plateful! These adorable bamboo plates went down a treat with our judges who loved the cute but sturdy bamboo design in various friendly animal shapes, paired with an ultra-strong silicone suction base.

The judges were excited to hear that these plates are made from 100% bamboo which is durable, anti-bacterial, sustainably grown and biodegradable. The panel also noted that the deep sides and compartments with the plates would make it easy for kids to push their cutlery against, making meal times that little bit easier.

Good quality, long lasting tableware that can be handed down when you can bear to part with it.

Such pleasing shapes that so many kids will love. I know some dinosaur obsessives who would love the Triceratops!

Eleonore Crompton, Deputy Editor, JUNIOR

Beautiful products that both kids and parents will appreciate. I LOVE the design!

Who:Pippeta

What:Silicone Suction Bowl

Why:

This silicone bowl, designed by parents in the know, really appealed to our panel who loved the sleek, aesthetically pleasing design paired with the peace of mind that it is a long lasting, plastic free product that won’t release micro particles into the sea.

Pipetta’s founders told us that “after using many bowls we wanted one that didn’t peel, crack, stain, and was easy to clean as well as looking the part.” Our judges felt that they had fulfilled their goals and created something children and parents alike would enjoy.

Subtle, cool and super functional. A great interpretation of the suction plate for parents who want minimal design and minimal fuss.

Great concept and I also like the colour palette used. Such an innovative design!

I love the fact these are so easy to clean. No nooks and crannies for any food to hide in.

Who:Bobo&boo

What:Plant-Based Dinnerware Set

Why:

These gorgeous three-piece sets are made from 100% plant-based materials making them incredibly eco-friendly. Our panel thought the robust design, gorgeous colours and satisfying stackability of this dinnerware would make them firm favourites in the family home and they agreed the gift box presentation made them feel like the perfect gift for a new baby or toddler.

These bowls also felt generous enough in size to last throughout a child’s eating journey and the panel felt it would be a long time before they would be handed down.

This plant based tableware is sturdy, stackable, dishwasher friendly and best of all planet friendly. A great choice for eco-conscious families who want products that last.

Bonita Turner, Editor of JUNIOR

Really lovely products with the added bonus of being eco friendly. The colours are gorgeous and sure brighten up meal times!

I love the idea of buying multiple sets for rainbow table laying. A fab eco-conscious brand with a simple stylish feel.

Who:nohla

What:Toby the Tiger Bamboo Suction Plate

Why:

So cute! Was the first reaction to this adorable tiger shaped bamboo suction plate that comes with a super strong suction pad attached. Our judges loved the design, including the three generous sections that keep different types of food apart and add to the excitement of eating.

Made from 100% bamboo, and FDA approved silicone, this plate has been created to as eco-friendly standards as possible and the panel felt it was sturdy enough to be handed down through several children.

Just adore these tiger plates! Sure to make mealtimes a fun event.

Bonita Turner, Editor of JUNIOR

Very sweet design!

Zoey Goto, author and journalist @zoeygoto

Gorgeous to look at, sustainably made and won’t shed plastic in the wash. That’s three big ticks for me.
