I don't have a good answer for kids breaking stuff.
And I do wonder what glues are used in the bamboo scrubbers, but I have no way of finding out. The scrapers are at least a solid single piece. They're either definitely bamboo or some very skillfully-engineered plastic to look exactly like it. ;)
There are a lot of cheap glass blenders on [ONLINE STORE]. But yeah, the high end ones--maybe they're trying to avoid that 50s look.
We just run with the plastic lids with glass tupperware. The only other sensible replacement we've found is reused jars and Ball jars, but all those lids have plastic liners, too. We don't cook the lids and food contact is limited. Would be nice to have something else. Silicone lids? We have some of those we picked up for Ball jars at some point. But this seems like a lower potential issue than cooking with plastic materials.
For really inexpensive stuff like blenders and glass containers is the second-hand store.
Around the time that I became a parent, I remember a friend’s wife emphatically telling me why one should never ever give fruit juice to a child. Later in the evening, she recounted an anecdote where a bout of constipation was cured with prune juice. I could not help myself from commenting “but isn’t that fruit?”
somehow this thread reminds me of that conversation.
