Yes, there is a time and a place for Winne the Pooh, Spongebob, the Backyardigans, etc., but it doesn’t have to be at the dinner table. While a need might be: plates that don’t break, a want might be: plates that you think are pretty–but are still lively and bright for the under-7 crowd seated to your right. Hence, a few melamine plate options:
Thomas Paul Portland Plates, $40/set of 4
JefDesigns Home Abstract Plates, $80/set of 4
Isaac Mizrahi for Target Melamine Plates, $17.99/set of 8 (what a steal!)
