I bought this for my preschool classroom, play kitchen. These are hands down the favorite kitchen toys. My students are constantly making me meals, soups and drinks. They’re extremely durable, easy to clean. I would even use these as regular dishes for my own children. The silverware hasn’t bent either, we’ve used these for over a month now. Ten, three year olds are destructive and these are holding up beautifully. The cups are perfect sizes for this age. Target has dishes set similar to these but their cups are too large for my student, imo.My daughter loved these, and they were very affordable and comes with so manyBest dishes for my momma heart. Safe for my littles to put food and snacks on and I don’t worry about toxins at all.In the past year I decided to make a point to find great eco friendly products to incorporate into various parts of our lifestyle. Switching cleaners and using reusable shopping bags are great, easy ways to make changes but I wasn't so sure about toys. Could there really be great toys that are ecofriendly and fun?When my little girl turned two this fall she was given a repainted hand-me-down play kitchen from some members of our extended family. It's cute and fun but we needed something to play with in the kitchen. Let me just say now that I hate plastic toys in general so I was leaning toward a metal or wood set for the tot when I found the Green Toys dish set. The colors are gorgeous! When I read that not only are these made from recycled milk bottles, they're also made here in the USA I thought for sure they'd be super expensive. Honestly though, in comparison to other sets I looked at they really weren't that much more. I was sold.Lightweight but shocklingly durable this set takes a daily beating from my daughter. They're nice enough that we could use real food in them (Daddy this does not mean I want to find dried Dr. Pepper in the tea cups again!) and dishwasher safe, which I tested. They're the perfect size for toddlers and the colors are just the right grouping to be great for either gender if you care about that sort of thing. The only thing I don't like about these is the forks. They're odd shaped and I can't imagine trying to use the tines for real food. We did have to put all the place settings up since our toddler was running with them in her mouth but during supervised play they're just too cute for words.On the whole the tot and I love this dish set. I feel good knowing these are American made and ecofriendly. I have full intentions to buy many more toys for our kids from Green Toys because even if I wasn't trying to be more environmentally concious these are just well made toys anyway!Sturdy plastic table set perfect for little ones that like to play houseMy granddaughter loved them, and I think they will last awhile. They seem well made.Edit: I wrote this review NOV 2018 and it’s now Jan 2021 and these are still going strong. We now have a rough toddler and expecting our fourth and I’m sure these will still be around for them to play with. Truly good quality and long lasting. Definitely recommendOriginal review:The kids love these! I was looking for a set that wasn't harsh primary colors. These are softer and more pleasant to the eye than many out there. They aren't super girly either wich is great. The size is perfect. They could probably have small snacks if desired. I added the green trays to keep their place settings organized when they play. Dollar store find. And it's actually been a great strategy! They play but they don't get them all over the place. They were so excited to show their dad when he got home from work. He liked it too. It's been a few days now, maybe a week, and they continue to feed me invisible food. Awesome buy! They feel like they will last a long time.IF THIS REVIEW WAS HELPFUL, PLEASE LEAVE A THUMBS UP. THANK YOU ?This toy was perfectly packaged (not damaged or opened). All items are very sturdy and not the cheap, thin plastic you often find in childrens toy plates. However within the bundle of utensils was a very dirty spoon. I had read other reviews claiming the same and was skeptical. It’s true!! I definitely would not gift this item! Why is it dirty if it’s new?? Buyer beware: WASH FIRST!!!Sturdy and well made product.Update: nearly two years later and these are in amazing condition still. They're played with daily, and I pop them in the dishwasher if they get too sticky, dirty and dusty during play, they come out wonderfully every time.Treated my daughter to this nice set for her birthday, but bought well in advance. The set was missing a fork when she opened it, but I’ve missed the return window… such a shame as it wasn’t cheap!This was a gift for a small boy - he loved it! I loved that it was eco-friendly, well made and such lovely colours.Really happy with this set. It's servicing 2 children, a toddler and per-schooler. It's been dropped, snatched, chewed on, run through the dishwasher and used daily for about 6 weeks and in still looks good. They are a bit small for kids over 5 but still good for play and picnics at home.Great and I love the fact it's more environmentally friendly than the usual plastic children's toys. Even more improtantly, my 2 year old granddaughter loves it too!
