Serveware for moms and tots alike
Wherein the entire playgroup can enjoy snacktime Perhaps our friends are over-brave, but we’re sure there must be other people like us. Mamakaze is part of a group of about a dozen mamas with tots from about a year to 18 months old. Our playgroup started when the babies were just wee, immobile things, so refreshments seemed like an easy and logical idea. Over the past year, the babies learned to sit, then to crawl, and later to race toward objects of desire at light speed. Suddenly, serving snacks didn’t seem like such a great plan anymore. But with several mamas, including Mamakaze, finding ourselves in the family way, we certainly can’t deprive ourselves — and our precious cargo — of sustenance. Thus, quartered grapes and soft breads have replaced decadent cookies and chewy bagels. And with a dozen sets of swift little feet and grabby little hands to contend with, using breakable serveware at playgroup is no longer an option. But, creative mamas that we are, most of us have come up with solutions that pleases the aesthetic sensibilities of the grown-ups while ensuring that our china and glass remain intact. Whether it’s bold, stylish melamine, understated wood or sophisticated metal, our pitted cherries, cheese cubes and other baby-friendly munchies are still sitting pretty. Mamakaze loves chunky pieces of focaccia in the kiln-dried maple serving bowl at left ($200, Uncommon Goods
