Mushie Silicone Play Tea Set

The Mushie Silicone Play Tea Set is a soft, food-grade silicone tea set made for pretend picnics, tea parties and even bath time. It includes a teapot with a removable lid and three matching cups, all sized with small hands in mind, so a toddler can pour, serve and share their own imagined tea time. It's a gentle way into role play and small-world play, whether it lives in a play kitchen or comes along for water play in the bath.

Made from 100% food-grade silicone, the pieces are soft, flexible and rounded, which makes them easy for little hands to grip and hold. The set is free from BPA, BPS, PVC and phthalates, and it has been third-party safety tested. It carries Mushie's minimalist, Scandinavian-inspired look, so it reads as a considered piece rather than a bright plastic novelty — part of why it works well as a gift.

What the play looks like

A tea set like this gives a child a familiar script to work with: filling the teapot, lifting the lid, pouring into cups and offering one to a parent, a sibling or a favourite toy. It's the kind of back-and-forth, social play where naming things and taking turns come naturally, and where a toddler can invent their own scenarios as they grow. The pieces are open-ended enough to double as scoops and cups at bath time too.

Made for small hands

The teapot measures roughly 13.97 x 12.07 x 7.87 cm, and each cup is about 4.45 x 8.57 x 6.35 cm — a scale suited to toddlers. The silicone is soft and gentle on gums, so it's suited to little ones who still mouth their toys, and its durability means it stands up to plenty of repeat play.

How to care for it

Clean up is straightforward once tea time is over. Wash the pieces in warm, soapy water and let them air dry, or pop them on the top rack of the dishwasher, ready for the next round.

Best For

The Mushie Silicone Play Tea Set is a great option for parents who:

• Want a soft, easy-to-grip pretend-play set suited to toddlers from 10 months and up
• Like the idea of a toy that works in both a play kitchen and the bath
• Prefer a minimalist design that's easy to keep clean and doubles as a thoughtful gift
• Want pieces made from food-grade silicone, free from BPA, BPS, PVC and phthalates

It may not be the best fit if you're looking for a large, realistic role-play set with many detailed pieces, or a set for an older child who has outgrown simpler props.
