Best Dishes and Glasses for Kids or Outdoor Dining?

I am looking at purchasing a set of durable dishes and glasses. I plan on using them for kids and outdoor dining (barbeques, etc.).

They need to be hearty enough that, when a child drops them on a hardwood floor or outside on the desk or patio that they will, more often than not, stay in one piece. They also need to be made of a healthy material... so, NO plastic. I'd like to be able to use them in the microwave without worrying about carcinogenic chemicals leaching into my children's food. :)

Any thoughts, tips, or suggestions? Thank you!
