Everyone wants to be a little more eco when throwing parties, especially when it comes to those disposable plates and utensils. One of our favorite eco-friendly tips is to simply use what you have in your cupboards instead of buying paper or plastic. But what if you're having a party for kids? Pulling out your heavy, breakable plates doesn't exactly seem like the best idea for a room full of children. But neither does a garbage bag full of plastic plates and forks.

The kids line from Bambu may just be the perfect solution. The products are made from sustainable, renewable bamboo, and they're perfectly sized for small hands. The Bamdino plates couple a cute dinosaur drawing with an eco-minded message. But my favorite product from the line is the kid's spork — a genius fork-on-one-side-spoon-on-the-other utensil that the little ones are certain to love. The best part is that bamboo composts in just a few months, so you can actually feel good about these disposable party goods.
