Corelle is very, very durable but not completely unbreakable. That said, it is so inexpensive that replacing a piece isn't a hardship.

Many of my Corelle pieces are used more for food prep (mise en place) these days than as dishes for eating. For that reason I have never gotten rid of them: they are too useful and I am not afraid of using them as kitchen tools. I'm glad I kept them around!

Thank you for the suggestions - unfortunately they need to be able to go in a microwave and melamine cannot be used that way.  If you have any other ideas please let me know.

Great idea to check out - I do remember these from my early years (LOL) so will see if I can find them still available.  Thank you!

I have seen these on line but did not know anyone who had tried them - thank you for the recommendation!

Consider Corelle:https://www.amazon.com...My set dates from the Nineties when the company was still part of Corning Glass Works. I believe the set is intact and I've dropped several pieces onto a tile kitchen floor and concrete patio without breakage.It is still reasonably priced.

I don't know if they come in white- but Amazon handles a set of dishes made from wheat straw that might fit the bill.  My daughter bought a set of coffee mugs made of the same material to use at work in a preschool, and they work like a charm.  Microwave safe, dishwasher safe, and of course, so far unbreakable.  And that's saying a lot in a preschool setting.  Hers has hit a concrete floor and come through without a scratch or dent.  Otherwise, it's tough.  Melamine is fairly unbreakable, but not microwave safe.  The only other option would be plain old white Corelle - which is highly break resistant, but not unbreakable.
