Real dinnerware set for your little ones. If we let them use real dinnerware set then they will learn natural consequences i.e. drop the glass and it will break. They will learn responsibility as they clean up the broken pieces. Afterwards, they can have their movements refined and be aware of the fragility of their environment. They can also be empowered by using 'real' dinnerware set. We, as parents, can show the child that we trust and respect them.
This dinnerware set includes the following:
- Silicone placemat
- Stainless steel little spoon and fork
- Ceramic Plate
- Little drinking glass
"Their very fragility is of educational value. The same consideration leads us to give children china, plates, glass drinking-vessels and fragile ornaments, for these objects become the denouncers of rough, disorderly and undisciplined movements. Thus the child is led to correct himself, and he accordingly trains himself not to knock against, overturn, and break things; softening his movements more and more, he gradually becomes their perfectly free and self-possessed director.
"On the other hand, when a child comes into collision a hundred times with an enormous heavy iron-bound desk, when he makes thousands of invisible ink-stains on a black bench; when he lets a metal plate fall to the ground a hundred times without breaking it, he remains immersed in his sea of defects without perceiving them; his environment meanwhile is so constructed as to hide and therefore to encourage his errors." - Maria Montessori
