What Canadian Parents are saying…
We tested this eco friendly tea set in a kindergarten classroom to see if it would hold up. Here’s what Kindergarten teacher, Deb L. shared with us.”After a full week of use in our classroom we are happy to report that the tea set is still going strong. The dishes are much sturdier than the regular dishes we had (which break when they get run over by the wheels of the bookshelf which serves as a divider for our house centre). The teapot was a huge hit. It has instantly created a tea party station. The dishes have a nice texture, which I think will reduce the appearance of dirt on the dishes. I would say this is a great set of dishes for a classroom or a home playroom. Not only for the fact that they are a green toy, but they feel more durable and have held up well. “– Deb L. & her Kindergarten class.
Tips & Tricks worth mentioning…
