After breaking lots of stoneware bowls because of children and in the dishwasher, I had a friend give me her 'old school' tupperware cereal bowls. I loved the fact that I did't have to worry about them breaking, but I found that when my children ate out of them they tipped over easily. NOT WITH THE NEW ONES!!! They have been redesigned and are PERFECT for cereal with the kids.LOVE THEM!
