cute toy plate/cups/cutlery set?

[AAsa]

My little boy loves playing with his toy kitchen. But I have not found any plates and cups that are worth buying, so instead he goes into our cupboard and gets the plate and cups he wants....

Nothing broken yet, but I still would prefer to get him something that he can play with but most things seems to be in plastic pink....

My boy loved playing with a toy kitchen too. I bought him a set of plastic plates, cups, etc, from Toys R Us in primary colours and some of those velcro connected plastic food items that come with plastic knives for "cutting". They may still stock them.

does it matter if they are pink?
my boys love any tea-sets regardless of colour or pattern.

I bought some plastic plates, bowls and cups from IKEA.

hi,

Thanks!! I dont know what I have against pink... :-) I guess it is same reason why I would not buy him pink trousers. Nice colour but... ah well!

I know what you mean about pink - hubby pretty much banned it in our house the day our son was born!

I think even having his own set, my son would still come into the kitchen. I've told him that he can only go into one cupboard (with plastic boxes) and one drawer (with no dangerous objects, and only utensils I don't use, as I never know if they might have been taken out and used on the floor or not!) So far, it's working quite well, although he will still investigate other cup*** very occasionally, until I point him back to 'his' one.
I also ask him to help me cook sometimes, if it's safe for him; sometimes it increases his fervour for pretend cooking, and sometimes satiates it.

I do the same as Globetrotter - my daughter has her own drawer with non-dangerous stuff in it. It worked well in our kitchen. If she tries to go in other drawers I just remind her where her own drawer is and she is ok.

I've been edited, but I'll try again. If you have a look in early learning, they have a few sets, if you want to buy.
