Children's Dish Set Delights the Little Folks

Children are special guests. 

They see the world through different eyes than adults. 

 They find sheer delight in the smallest of things.

With this in mind, I wanted to set a dinner table for little visitors to our home. Wouldn't you know it, one day, while strolling through a Goodwill Store, I spotted a box filled with bunny tableware for children. 

Stuffed beneath a shelf, I pulled out the box and looked inside. It was love at first "hop." 

There were little bunny napkin rings, bunny soup cups with china spoons, and a big mama bunny pitcher. To fill it, one must life mama bunny's head off.

The entire box cost $7.50.  This week, during a birthday dinner, I decided to set a table for the little guests. It was an instant hit. Even though it looked a little "springy," the little girls visiting absolutely loved it.

There was no yelling, crying, or sounds of "I want to go home."  The little girls attending delighted in pouring orange juice from the pitcher, eating with their little spoons, and slipping the napkins out of the bunny holders.

The little diners had tiny cupcakes made just for them, too.

After everybody went home, while washing dishes, I couldn't help but chuckle. Inside the pitcher were French fries and even a piece of bread!   Guess the little ones wanted to see things disappear inside the mama bunny's tummy.

In retrospect, that kids' china turned out to be a great purchase.

DO YOU SET A SEPARATE TABLE FOR LITTLE GUESTS?
