Green Toys Tea Set,No BPA, phthalates, PVC. Recycled Plastic, Made in USA.

We have quite a few Green Toys trucks and really like the quality, so when I saw the tea set I was intrigued. We don’t actually use it for tea…we’re more of a cocoa and cider type of family, but my kids still love using it. We’ve put it in the dishwasher (top rack) multiple times with no issues. I use my Keurig and put it directly into the tea pot and let it cool to a safe temp. My 4 year old can usually pour without spilling and my 2 year old does pretty well too. Yes, the lid can come off, but it hasn’t really been an issue for either of them. Spills are a part of life, I don’t feel my kids make any more mess using this tea set than they do at a typical meal.I know some people complain about the holes in the sugar bowl. I think these holes are for safety reasons…the same reason there are little holes in plastic Easter eggs nowadays (so kids don’t suffocate themselves when putting it over their mouth and nose). Here’s some simple solutions…they could just use their imaginations and not even have any sugar in the bowl at all. Or you could use sugar cubes (or marshmallows for the cocoa) instead. Still really want to use granulated sugar and know for sure your kid wouldn’t put the sugar bowl over their face? Line it with Press n seal (not saran wrap) it works great to cover the holes.
