Looking for a unique and adorable holiday gift idea? You have to check out Ceramictopia! I am absolutely in love with all their clever dish designs! They really do know how to make mealtime fun again for all ages! Let’s check them out, then I’ll tell you which design is my favorite!
Ceramictopia: Making Meal Time Fun Again
As a mom to a picky eater, I know the value of making mealtime more entertaining. I’ve done everything short of standing on my head to get my son to try new things. If I thought I could do it without breaking my leg, I’d try that too! He was so picky that I actually had to bring in an occupational therapist just to get him to move beyond baby food and dry cereal!
Using fun dishes and utensils at meal times was one of his therapist’s recommendations. I really wish Ceramictopia was around back then because I would have bought every last design! If you haven’t heard of these unique dishes, you’re in for a treat!
Ceramictopia designs and produces some of the coolest dishware on the planet. Each plate and cup work together to complete a fun animal scene. For example, with Brian the Giraffe (they all have fun names), his body starts on the plate, then his head finishes on the cup.
Other designs feature complete animals on the plate but carry the scene further with the mug. In Dancing Doreen, the plate shows off a scene of pink flamingos. Add in the mug, though, and you also get to see them soaring through the air. The plate and mug are sold together.
They’re fun for all ages!
While I love Ceramictopia’s sets as a fun way to encourage picky eaters to clean their plates, they’re definitely not just for kids! They also make fabulous conversations pieces at family dinners! You can even make them into a fun meal time game! Go around the table and ask each person to tell a silly story about their scene!
The Ceramictopia dishes are super high quality, making them ideal for gift giving. Each set is designed by fabulous artists from around the world and carefully crafted using only the finest English bone china. Ceramictopia has even coined a new name for their artists: Ceramtists! Get it? Artist + ceramics!
Here’s a really cool surprise: Ceramictopia is in the process of expanding their product range from ceramics and glass to also creating paper plates and cups with their design concept on. However, to turn Ceramictopia from a dream into reality, and start manufacturing the full range of products, they need your help. Check out the Ceramictopia’s Kickstarter and give them a hand in making parties and meal times everywhere even more fun!
In the meantime, you can buy all of their clever designs over on their website. Follow Ceramictopia on Facebook and Instagram to keep up with all their news and their Kickstarter progress! Make sure you check out all the fun rewards!
I promised I’d tell you my favorite, didn’t I? It’s such a tough choice because I really love them all, but if you told me I could only have one, I’d pick Playful Lola because elephants have always been one of my favorite animals!
Which of the Ceramictopia designs is your favorite? Tell us below!
The designs are really fascinating. I found the one with the Giraffe so adorable. Definitely these will add colour to the dining table as well as the food.
I will get these for my grandchildren. They’ll love the colorful designs and learn about animals too! If I have these plate and glass sets at home, calling them to eat won’t be a big hassle anymore. :)
Getting my preschooler to eat an actual meal is a challenge. All she wants is snacks! These adorable collections will help get her to the table!
I love plates like these! they always look really cool and make eating fun.
Very fun idea that hopefully would keep my kids engaged in EATING! A certain 6 yr old in my house just might find the giraffe set under the Christmas tree!
Those are some fun designs for the kids. I bet they would even volunteer to clean it too after eating.
I love these plate and cup sets! These would make the perfect Christmas gifts for my nieces and nephews!!
Thanks so much Ricci, glad you like them. Absolutely they are very different and i hope your nieces and nephews would like them as much as you :) Check out our Kickstarter campaign to find out more https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1619139728/ceramictopia-making-meal-times-fun
Oh my word, that giraffe is kind of incredible! I think my kids would absolutely love the entire set!
If you check out this video Debra, you can see the full animal range. I love the Giraffe one but also have a soft spot for the penguins : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBtYPLnq7HU
Those cups and plates are fantastic, my husband would love some.

Funny story, we have so many of those melamine plates for my kids, and we all eat on them! My daughter would love these! They are so creative.
Well hopefully this week we will be able to announce our manufacturing capabilities on melamine. At the moment its ceramic, glass and paper but after several requests, we have decided to open up to plastic also. You can see the full range here if you’re interested: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1619139728/ceramictopia-making-meal-times-fun
How cool are those! I want them all now!
Shannon, you can have as many as you like :D Check out our Kickstarter campaign to pre order your favourite set :) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1619139728/ceramictopia-making-meal-times-fun
Those are so cute. I love how the cups and plates carry on the pictures. I have a small one who would love this.
Thats great to hear Rachel. Hopefully we will be announcing that these will be available on melamine shortly as well which maybe even better for your small one :) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1619139728/ceramictopia-making-meal-times-fun
OK now those are just plain cool! I think I would like these also for myself. They’re fun and inventive and they’re just plain cool. I would probably pick the one with the elephant.
Haha thanks Jeannette, glad you think they are cool, i agree but i am biased :) If you want to see more, please do check out our Kickstarter campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1619139728/ceramictopia-making-meal-times-fun
Aaww thanks Jeannette, if you want to see the full animal range, check this short video out and see if the elephant one still wins :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBtYPLnq7HU
These are so much fun. I really love all the designs. My kids love animals and have a blast at the zoo. I think these plates would be a hit in our house.
Hi Jenn, thanks for the kind comments. If you want to see the full animal range, this short video will give you a taster :) If you would like to see more, this short video will give you an overview of the our full animal product range: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBtYPLnq7HU&feature=youtu.be
These are really cute! I love the colors on the plate and mug. I’m sure my kids will get a kick out of them!
Thanks Amber, its nice to hear that your kids would get a kick out of them. Please do check out our Kickstarter if you are interested: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1619139728/ceramictopia-making-meal-times-fun Thanks :)
What a neat idea that the mug and plate go together to finish the scene. I can even see the kids mixing and matching just to be funny and start giggling.
Haha thanks Candy. Funny enough we have actually created a range that you can mix and match at will, but who days you cant put a kangaroo head on a giraffe body as well :D I have attached a couple of images of our mix and match range for your info and dont forget to check out our Kickstarter campaign if you get chance https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7e56570e45fe04a2fb56a9a385200de92316955cf07015acf03445fc3bd8e1d4.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/81df1159b46a28b97fe754ff74779065c46ac5df7811459d980898335fd189d5.jpg
I love how the scene is carried from the plate to the mug! These are so cute and the kids would go crazy over them. Maybe they will even help them eat their veggies. :) Adorable!
Thanks Alli, we have tried to get the mug and plate to be a little story on its own and then create a complete story when put together, hopefully boosting imagination and fun for kids as well as getting them to clear their plates :) Check out our Kickstarter campaign if you get chance to find out more: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1619139728/ceramictopia-making-meal-times-fun
I agree. I like how the mugs and plates can stand alone but also make a whole scene together.
Thanks Alli. Yeah we hope because they are some unique and creative that kids will want to eat all their food to see the full design. It worked with my best friends child who all of a sudden started eating broccoli, peas and beans just to see the penguins, amazing how it distracted him from the food :) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1619139728/ceramictopia-making-meal-times-fun
These are such cute dinner time sets. I have a bunch of young nieces and nephews that would love these :)
Here is a preview of the full animal range Robin, would be interesting to find out which are the favourites amongst your nieces and nephews : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBtYPLnq7HU&feature=youtu.be
I had a Giraffe dinner set when I was a kid! I collected Giraffe stuff for awhile and then switched to butterflies, these are so cute! I hope they make one with butterflies next.
Tracy @ Ascending Butterfly
Thats amazing that you used to have a Giraffe dinner set. How things come back around. Will put butterflies into the mix for new designs, nice idea as i already have a few scenes where this could work :) Keep an eye out for when we launch a butterfly set :)
I would like all of them, would make a great gift for holiday time for friends… they love animals.
I agree, who doesnt love animals, you cant help but smile at them. If you are interested, you could get your gifts via our Kickstarter campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1619139728/ceramictopia-making-meal-times-fun
Thanks Kristi :)
Oh, those really are so cute and clever! What a great way to bring a little fun to each meal. I like them all, but the giraffe would be my favorite.
I think im with you Theresa. the Penguin one is a close call though, their faces always make me smile. You can see the full animal range here as that may even change your mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBtYPLnq7HU&feature=youtu.be
I love the different sets that’s being offered! I don’t think kids will be able to resist these when they see them! It’s going to make meal time so much more fun for sure.
Thanks so much Carol for the kind words. Please do check out our Kickstarter campaign if you are interested in the products: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1619139728/ceramictopia-making-meal-times-fun
I love reading about ways to make mealtime more enjoyable. My kids love to see their food on fun and colorful plates!
If you get chance, have a look at our full range Kelly as it would be great to know which ones of the animal range your kids love the most :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBtYPLnq7HU&feature=youtu.be
Those are absolutely adorable. I really love the elephant.
