15 best kids' tea sets in Australia | Mum's Grapevine

Few toys enrich imaginative play the way a kids’ tea set does. There are the little invitations, fascinating conversations and all those treats to go with mugs of make-believe matcha.

For years tea sets have been the centre of toddler get-togethers, and kids’ still can’t get enough of them. But gone are the days when all sets were pink. Top brands now use sustainable materials and fab design to breathe fresh life into a timeless toy – and we can’t choose between them.

Whether you’re after a wooden tea set, big pops of colour or something gender-neutral, you’re in the right spot. We’ve put together a handy list of options to please every little personality.

What to consider when buying a kids’ tea set

Jabadabado Tea Set for Kids

Age requirements – While most tea sets are aimed at the toddler age when pretend play is at its most colourful, sets with small pieces aren’t suitable for kids under three years. Thankfully, there are still plenty of irresistibly chunky options available for younger babes.

Accessories – If you’ve already got a toy box (or three) full of play food, you may not need a large tea set. But, if you do want some delicious extras such as cupcakes, sugar cubes and tea bags, there are larger sets available with the works.

The number of cups – Let’s face it, if there aren’t enough cups for everyone, toddler tantrums are imminent. Many tea sets include just two cups, so if you have three or more littlies under your roof, go for a larger set with four cups.

Materials – Consider your carbon footprint when buying a tea set for your wee one and choose sustainably sourced and renewable materials over harmful plastics.
