Mealtimes Made Meaningful
Why you'll love the Pickle & Bear Tableware Set
There’s something quietly beautiful about the everyday rituals of family life — and few are more important than mealtimes. Whether it’s the first taste of puréed banana or a chaotic tea around the table, these moments are where memories are made. That’s why we believe in tableware that does more than just the job. It should feel considered. It should bring joy. And it should grow with your child.
The Pickle & Bear Tableware Set has been thoughtfully designed to do just that. It’s practical, playful and built to support little ones as they explore the world of food — all while giving parents something that looks good on the kitchen table and holds up to daily use.
Designed for small hands and growing independence
Every detail of this set has been created with children in mind. The soft, food-grade silicone is gentle on gums and little hands, while the clever features — like non-slip bases and easy-grip shapes — help support the move towards independent eating. For parents, it’s one less thing to worry about, and for children, it’s another step in learning confidence at mealtimes.
What makes the set really special, though, is the ability to mix and match. Choose from a calming palette of pastel tones to build a combination that suits your family, your kitchen, or simply your child’s favourite colour of the moment. The result is a set that feels personal and loved — not just another piece of plastic on the shelf.
Beautiful, practical and built to last
Made from BPA-free silicone, each piece is dishwasher safe, wipeable and ready for the rigours of real life. These are the bowls, plates, cups and spoons you’ll reach for every day — because they’re reliable, but also because they bring something extra to the table. They’re well made. They’re thoughtful. And they’re built to last beyond the baby years.
The Baby Tableware Set also makes a meaningful gift. Whether for a first birthday, a baby shower or simply to welcome a new chapter in a family’s life, it’s a present that feels both beautiful and useful — and that combination can be surprisingly hard to find.
A calmer, kinder mealtime experience
At Pickle & Bear, we believe that the things we use every day can shape how we feel. They can make the ordinary a little more lovely. This set is a reflection of that idea — that design, even in something as simple as a child’s bowl or spoon, can bring calm, comfort and joy to family life.
So whether you're starting the weaning journey or just ready for a more considered set of tools to support your growing toddler, the Baby Tableware Set is a gentle, joyful place to begin.
