Trial Zone: Eco-friendly Dishware for Kids (WIN!)

Tuesday, May 18, 2010


Eco-friendly, toxin free, kid-sized and darn cute. That's my assessment of the AnyWare collection from Untangled Living. It's a five piece set of stainless steel dishes, invented by a mom and made for kids. My 5 year old and I spent the last few weeks using them in our test kitchen, and we're thrilled to share our experience with you.

First, some information about the product. The ANYWare collection was created by Sue Volpe, owner of Untangled Living. The collection brought an end to her search for a safer alternative to plastic, and "combines practicality and style for any parent with their child's health and the environment in mind." 

The ANYWare set is
  • free of plastics, BPA, PVC, phthalates, lead and other harmful toxins
  • made of high quality 18/8, #304 food grade stainless steel
  • dishwasher safe, stackable and durable
  • available for $40USD $44CAD
  • available in two etched designs – butterfly and gecko
Donovan and I selected the gecko design and we've given the line 4 1/2 mamas.
  1. Did I love it? Yes
  2. Is it kid/family approved? My son loves being able to tell his sister, "That's just for me!"
  3. Did it deliver what was promised? Yes, but I think it's more appropriate for smaller hands--my 5 year old might be a little big for it.
  4. Is it a great price? I think it's a little expensive but the other side of that is that the dishes will definitely last.
  5. Is it unique and creative? Yes
