That is why it's important to make dinnertime fun and you can do this with the dinnerware. When I was a child, I had a complete dislike for milk. The only way I would drink it would be from my plain white mug that had a surprise in the bottom; a cute bear sculpture. To use that mug I had to promise to drink all the milk and not just spill it. Very clever my mom was. Raynaud Tableware Chinatook a tip from mom and have created fun dinnerware for children.

Raynaud tableware, creators of avant garde fine china, have created a Baby Dinnerware set that is so entertaining to the eye no child could resist. The Petite Gourmand 3-piece Baby Dinnerware Set by Raynaud comes with a plate, bowl and cup with easy to handle handles. Each piece has an eye-catching. hand-painted illustration. On the inside of the bowl there are boats wading in the waves and the mug has a colorful illustration of what looks like a guy flinging food. Then depending on the sex, boy or girl, the plate either has a girl in scarf, top hat and wand walking to a birthday cake or a little boy balancing plates surrounded by stars. It is a delightful gift for the upcoming holidays or a celebratory "welcome to the world" birthday gift.
