Ribbons in pink and red lattice across a white plate, knotting into a bow at every crossing, with a line of shiny gold foil following each wave of the scalloped rim. In the spaces between, the ballet is already underway: the Nutcracker at attention in his red coat and navy hat, the Sugar Plum Fairy up on pointe in a pink tutu, a crowned ballerina in blue and gold, a soldier with both arms lifted overhead, a girl in a pale blue dress holding her nutcracker doll close, and the mouse king in his crown with his sword raised. Small red and pink flowers grow in the gaps.
Put one down at every chair, let the music play in the next room, and see how long it takes your kid to find the mouse king again once the cookies are gone.

Why we love it
Holiday tables have a way of dividing into the pretty end and the kids’ end. These hold their own beside the good china, and when the night winds down, nobody is standing at the sink.
