Super Bowls, the sequel

By Kavita Varma-White September 28, 2007 08:48 AM

In the great new Sun-Sentinel blog The Skinny, there's a post about keeping kid-sized dishes (even after they've outgrown Dora or Superman or whatever) because they are great for portion control.

This reminds me a post we did here last December on these great rice bowls from Utsuwa.com.

A set of 5 small porcelain rice bowls similar to these is only $18 (snooze ya lose, back in December they were $12!), and they are the perfect portion size for pasta, veggies, cereal, ice cream, you name it. (My kids use them at just about every meal.) Yes, they're porcelian...but we've used them for more than a year and haven't broken one yet.

And aren't they pretty? An added advantage: now the kids don't fight over who gets what character-themed plate. (Of course, they do fight over the color. sigh.)
