For times when you can't leave your little one alone with fragile cups. This well-designed silicone smoothie cup is great for on-the-go drinks - and active babies & toddlers!
[Version 2 of this cup has had exciting upgrades: a sleek rounded shape, ingenious straw stopper to prevent spills, straw cleaning brush and a brand-new leakproof lid!]
We used glass cups as much as possible, but these Silicone Straw Cups were the answer when glass just wasn't practical.
The silicone material also means that these will last forever and are easy to clean. Use it without the lid and straw for a Montessori open cup experience

Montessori info
Using an open cup is a wonderful way to encourage independence, coordination, and practical skills in kids. It allows kids to pour and drink on their own, boosting their self-confidence and hand-eye coordination.
When using a straw, children develop oral motor skills, as they need to coordinate their lips, tongue, and jaw movements to create suction. This strengthens their oral muscles and can improve speech and swallowing abilities.
On the other hand, drinking from an open cup requires fine motor control and hand-eye coordination, as children learn to hold the cup steadily and sip without spilling. This helps refine their grasping skills and enhances overall coordination. By alternating between a straw and an open cup, children can enjoy a range of physical benefits that support their oral and motor development.
