Tea Set

This is a truly excellent tea set. The lids fit nice and tight, the plastic is very sturdy, and it handles a dishwasher well without warping or discoloration. My son loves it, and the range in colors within the set means it's usable by both boys and girls without any "gender" guilt. There is only one small flaw, and that is that the small purple bowl has two holes in both the lid and the bowl itself. There is no real purpose for these holes, but it means that a child will pour liquid in it and the liquid will end up all over the floor because it leaks out the holes. The purple container is just another cup to them. A poor decision on the manufacturer's part (even two holes in the lid would have been okay if it was supposed to be a sugar shaker or something, but in the bowl...?) That flaw aside, it really is a wonderful set. Maybe I'll just hide that bowl ...

I actually bought this one on sale just to go in the living room toybox for when company comes over with little ones. These Green Toys are absolutely the best, hands down! What's not to love? The minute you recieve one you realize the substantial and durable quality of them. They are easy to clean and I literally can not fathom any saftey hazards whatsoever with these toys (other than if the are used as a projectile, but that is the case with most toys that are not fabric, so obviously if there is a baby in the bunch with some older toddlers or so, you should still have your eyes on the kids). I love that they are all dishwasher safe for sterilizing. We have decided to keep all the Green Toys in a toy box in our main livingroom for 2 reasons. When we have company with children or playmates visiting, they can all just dive into these toys and we don't have the aggravation of my grandson's other toys being dragged out with multiple pieces, and those are not all small child safe, and we can not just throw them in the dishwasher afterwards as we can these. These are literally worry free toys when children are visiting (other than the aforementioned throwing, or maybe banging over the head, so yes you still must parent as we should be anyway). Second, after dinner, when there is just a small window of time for bath and playtime before bed, these are hassle free and the only toys we let him drag out because they are simple and easy pickup. BONUS, they are MADE IN THE USA, and of completely recycled materials. I have not seen that many quality toys like these other than ones made in the 1940's or so, where good craftsmanship (as these are) mattered, even in a toy. We have at least 2 dozen of these toys and they have become an awesome gift item especially when they go on sale, which is often. They are literally the PERFECT toys!

Cute little set seems like it will last a long time. I would have returned it though if I had opened it up before I gave it to a 2 yo. The sugar bowl has holes drilled through the top and bottom. I’m not sure if this is all of them or just the one we got, but I’m pretty bummed about it. Not enough to take it away from a baby, but still bummed about this purchase.

My daughter loves her tea party set she got for Christmas. It is cute and feels durable, we don't mind putting water or juice in it for a "real" tea party and so she can practice pouring. I only have two suggestions that could be improved for which I docked a star:1. As others have mentioned, the sugar bowl has a hole in it, so you can't use it for actual sugar (or whatever) unless it is cubes. Nothing else has holes in it so I don't know why they did that to the bowl.2. The cream dispenser is the same color as the teacups so is easy for a little one to get them confused. Super minor but if anyone reads these reviews I think it would be nice if the cream dispenser was a different color, like purple to match the sugar bowl, to distinguish it from the teacups.

I LOVE this tea set!I'm not a very girly mom, I don't like a ton of patterns, and things covered in princesses, unicorns, and rainbows. But I have a 2yo who wants to have tea parties with her little brother.This set is super durable, they items don't bend when squeezed by little hands, and they aren't fragile at all. They are the perfect size, realistic proportions, and there's no silly painted on pattern that will wear off and look trashy in a few months. This set is easy to clean with warm water and dish soap. It's made in the USA from recycled milk jugs, and the colors are reasonably gender neutral.My ONLY complaint with this set is the sugar bowl... *sigh*, this sugar bowl has totally unnecessary holes in the bottom of the vessel. None of the other pieces have this. It makes no sense to me. My daughter likes playing with these in water, so it's annoying that she can't keep any "sugar" in her bowl. But this flaw is easily remedied with some super glue over the holes.
