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.
Customer Reviews
I have 6 sets myself so I can share with children who are guests. Even adults are excited by the rainbow stainless steel. This is now my go-to gift for children who are turning one. Beautiful and practical.
Honestly, love the idea. I was worried about scratches on the surface but I read on their QA section that due to the natural process they use to give the plates its look, there will be no chipping. So I bought 2 large sets confidently (not so cheap, either). We have been using for a week and what do you know? There are already scratches! So disappointed!! It feels like false advertising and not worth the value.
Now, just like bamboo, silicone, ceramic, glass, and plastic, stainless steel can get scratched during meals. But fear not! Stainless steel is non-porous, super tough, and won't react with your food, which means no bacteria growth, no broken dishes, and no chemicals leaching into your meals!
To maintain those vibrant colors on your Ahimsa plates, here's a handy tip: avoid using knives directly on them. Just like ceramic dinnerware, keep your Ahimsa plates in top shape by using a cutting board to prep your food.
And while we wish our plates were indestructible (wouldn't that be something?), like any material, they'll experience a bit of normal wear and tear over time. 😊️
We love our rainbow ahimsa set! I’m so glad I registered for it especially now that I’m trying to avoid silicone in addition to plastic (I’ve learned that stainless steel and glass are really the safest). One suggestion I have to is to make a set of utensils with wider handles to make it easier for babies to self feed. We’re doing baby led weaning and my 7 month old has a hard time managing these utensils. Thanks for making a great product!
We are thrilled to hear you are loving your products! Thank you so much for your insightful feedback and for being a part of the Ahimsa Family!
Love it!
Thank you so much! It makes our day knowing you are loving your set!
Quality product and lovely design. Kids love the colors. I’ve been hand washing them.
We love the colors too! So happy to hear you and your family are enjoying your dishes!
