set of melamine/plastic plates - all the same pattern

apples1

I am after at least half a dozen melamine/plastic plates (about tea plate size) to use for my daughter and her little friends for lunch and tea. I would like them to be spotty (or stripes etc) not with characters on them. They must be dishwasher safe.

I want to buy a pile of plates not a set with one plate, one bowl and a cup which is what I keep finding. I also don't want a set where each plate is a different colour (learnt from 1st time round that everyone just wants a certain colour and who needs to create hassle!)

Both Sainsburys and Tescos do them in their BBQ range. Sainsburys normally cost about 1.25 each and come in different designs, changed each year. I think they are bigger than tea plate size, but not as big as a dinner plate

Try somewhere like Millets or similar camping and outdoors type places. Also, although I haven't been for ages, this is something that Ikea might do.

I have tried sainsburys and tesco websites (BBQ/Picnic sections) and nothing.Ikea only do plain plastic plates (one of each colour) and I've just looked on Millets as not thought of them - nothing either.......

I've had them from pound shops before now, and I'm sure I saw some spotty ones in B&M the other day too.

apples, some saw mr men and little miss character plates in Asda today. Tea plate size, melamine, £1 each (roll back £2.23). Assorted characters including Little Miss Naughty, Little Miss Sunshine, Mr Greedy and Mr Happy. The Little Miss ones have little flowers decorated on the edge. Can't remember what was around the edge of the Mr Men ones. Definitely will fit on a highchair tray, or similar.
