Precious Phonic Platters

These Alphabet Dinner Plates Use Food Items to Form Letters

— November 21, 2011 — Art & Design
Parul Arora, the brains behind the Etsy store Just Noey, created these delightfully kitschy Alphabet Dinner Plates to add a little phonic fun to the evening meal. Each bone china plate is decorated with a different letter, which is comprised of a series of hand drawn food items that start with the same letter. Similar to the legendary Cookie Monster song 'C is for Cookie', Just Noey features plates with such titles as 'S for Sushi,' 'L for Lemons' and 'N for Noodles.'

All of Just Noey's plates are dishwasher and microwave safe, so there's no need to fuss over these cutesy treasures. Perfect for family dinners and low-key gatherings with friends, these Alphabet Dinner Plates are sure to make a lasting impression on all your dinner guests.

Study your letters and eat a wholesome meal at the same time with these adorable Alphabet Dinner Plates.
