Do you have special dishes (cups, bowls, plates) just for the use of the small folks? I don't mean the old ratty plastic stuff we let the kids use so our "good china" is safe from mayhem. I mean special, pretty dishware designed just for kids. There seem to be two kinds of these dishes - kid sized and doll sized. My faves are the kid sized. Here's some lovelies you can get that would be wonderful to make dinner special for a kid.
I've seen a few similar to this one below. This one is from the 1940's. It's double walled and you fill it with hot water so baby's food stays warm during a feeding. These must have been used by moms and not just displayed.
More modern sets usually have a cup, plate and bowl so you can serve any meal. Lenox has some cute ones like this Teddy Bear set.
What I like the most about Lenox's Teddy Bears is that the mug has a bear on the bottom of the inside. It's a little reward for drinking all your milk.
Wouldn't it be fun to use something like this?
