Vibrant Children’s China For a Very Good Cause

While checking out the KIDSCOMPANY website after taking part in the Chelsea Ballet School’s Goldilocks Fashion Show (which raised money for the fabulous not for profit), we noticed their vibrant china collection, perfect for kids of all ages.

The collection is designed by world-renowned interior designer, Nina Campbell and features characters that may remind you of Eric Carle’s ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ illustrations. Each one is colorful, interesting and was inspired by kids in art workshops in schools.

With Punky Pineapple, Berry Butterfly, Billy Banana and Peter Pumpkin, this luxury designer set makes a great gift and is sure to make your children’s meal time a bit more interesting!

The best part is that 100% of the money raised from these sales will support the Kids Company Food Programme. You can view the collection of china mugs, dinner plates and side plates for kids here which range from £7.99-£14.99
