Designed with busy parents in mind.
Built for a lifetime of health.
Ahimsa is consciously crafted of high quality food-safe stainless steel and titanium. Our dishes are free of BPA (and all bisphenols), PVC, phthalates, lead, siloxanes, melamine and formaldehyde—meaning that harmful chemicals won't transfer into your child's food.
Why stainless steel?
While plastic, melamine and even BPA-free dishware, flatware, and drinkware made for kids is often a go-to choice, science says it’s not the best for their development. Stainless steel, however, brings a healthier, more sustainable, and effortlessly fun option to the table—for life.
Doctor designed, kid approved.
Each Ahimsa piece is intentionally sized to promote early motor skills and confidence, while offering easy measurements for healthy portioning at every age. Kids love our colorful reflective surfaces and won't want to eat with anything else!

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) released a report in July 2018 suggesting ways that families can limit exposure to certain chemicals at mealtime, including “the use of alternatives to plastic, such as glass or stainless steel, when possible.” The report explained that “…some additives are put directly in foods, while “indirect” additives may include chemicals from plastic, glues, dyes, paper, cardboard”. Further, “Children are more sensitive to chemical exposures because they eat and drink more, relative to body weight, than adults do, and are still growing and developing.” While stainless steel items meet the recommendation to avoid plastic products in children, Ahimsa® products have the obvious advantage of not breaking like glass.

The first years set the stage for healthy habits for the rest of your child’s life. It’s never too early to start.
Balanced Bites Plates:
Our compartment plates are a visual map for parents to plan and for children to learn about the importance of food variety at each meal. Additionally, parents have found by using stainless steel rather than dinnerware that can be microwaved – they are choosing more healthy, fresh foods for their children.Cups:
Ahimsa cups are not only inert stainless steel and therefore, nontoxic and do not leach chemicals – but they are also the perfect size for small hands. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry advises that sippy cups should not be used for extended periods of time due to tooth decay. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association discourages sippy cups because they can interfere with a child’s ability to develop a mature swallowing pattern. We are so happy to offer cups that promote health not only due to their makeup, size and structure – but also to encourage healthy teeth, eating and speech development.Cutlery:
Encouraging children to use utensils during meals helps with pincer grasp and fine motor development. Parents have shared with us that their children often chose not to use their utensils until they started using our brightly colored cutlery and then continued to do so through habit.

No. Our steel is durable, so it won’t break or shatter with everyday use, like glass. And it won’t peel, like other colored stainless steel products you’ve seen. We use a special process that allows the colors to naturally occur in the metal.

According to the Steel Recycling Institute, steel can be recycled over and over and over again without losing its integrity and requires less energy to recycle than to make anew. Most plastic unfortunately ends up in landfills and it is estimated to take 700 years to decompose. Our special coloring process that allows Ahimsa® products to be fully metal is environmentally friendly, so it does not produce toxic run-off into the ecosystem.
