Our Story

Moon and Moo was founded by me, Lauren...

Back in 2021, in the midst of the UK's COVID lockdown, I had an itching to create something that I could call my own and that I could be passionate about.

All I knew at the time was that I wanted to create something that hit 3 non-negotiable criteria:
1) That my products be something that people want to use and reach for time and time again.
2) That my products be of an undeniably high quality.
3) SUSTAINABILITY! In a world of overconsumption and landfills, I wanted to create products that were made from sustainable materials but which also, with proper care, could be used for decades.

A little over 2 years later, a LOT of research and product development, and following the birth of my daughter, that little 'something' turned into Moon and Moo.

Our Products

I couldn't be prouder of the products that I've created… like, literally created. I sat in my kitchen and hand drew the plate shapes that you see in my shop today.

Cow and Hippo came first – they were both meant to be cows (my favourite animal is a cow and with the brand name “Moon and Moo” I felt it was very fitting) but my friends kept calling my second plate a Hippo. And so, cow number 2 became known as ‘Hippo’.

Cow and Hippo were then followed 12 months later by Tortoise and Mouse. Tortoise was inspired by my family pets… What started with 5 or 6 tortoises when I was a child is now an obsession of my mums, with a garden full of the things (19 at my last count). Mouse has no story, she’s just cute.

Our Non-Negotiables

Now, I won't lie and say that I identified a gap in the market and invented suction plates because that's simply not true. There are other versions, whether they be 100% silicone or other bamboo shapes.

Instead, what I did do, was create designs that are 100% original and, most importantly, I found the most incredible bamboo supplier and plate manufacturer (and, oh boy, there are a lot of suppliers out there!!)

Because of this, I am now able to over-deliver my 3 non-negotiable criteria - 1) Products that people really want, 2) To a quality of finish that is outstanding, all whilst 3) Having great sustainability credentials.

But, Why...

"Yes, they're cute shapes but why do I need them?", a sceptic might ask... So, let me list a few reasons:

1. Fun for children, practical for parents – Not only are our products fun and colourful but they're also practical. We can't promise to make mealtimes mess-free but we can certainly stop flying plates and spoilt dinners.
2. They're safe – Our bamboo and silicone contains zero plastics, Melamine, BPA, Phthalates or toxins, is naturally antibacterial and remains cool to touch. You won't find safer.
3. Environmentally friendly – Our plates are made from bamboo, which is biodegradable, doesn’t require pesticides for production, and grows up to 1 meter in just 24 hours.
4. Great for weaning – The powerful silicone suction base is strong and reliable making mealtimes less messy.
5. They'll last a lifetime – Bamboo and silicone are incredibly durable materials and with proper care our products can be hand-me-downs for many years (see our FAQs for top tips to extend the lifespan of our products).

Customer Testimonials

I just love these plates! The only brand we've found that stays stuck down! We have two plates and a bowl and use them all the time. They wash great, I love the variety of colours to choose from too. We also have a pet tortoise so the tortoise plate has gone down a treat!

A good quality product which feels sturdy and has passed the test of a 1 year old. We've now ordered more as we're impressed.

Delivered quickly. It's for our newly acquired cat! He was dragging his water dish all over the kitchen - problem solved!

Well made and delightfully crafted hippo plate with ample serving sections and good suction foot. Spoon well made and sturdy. Really happy with this and the prompt service.

Great seller - perfect. Great communication. Easy to do business with! Will buy more from Moon and Moo. 100% recommend if you are after some lovely plates/bowls for your toddlers. And good for the environment too is a bouble bonus.
