Straws make learning to drink from a cup much easier. We figured this out early on while taking our toddler to restaurants. And with a lid, the combo is great for slowing down spills!

A good friend sent me a Lollacup to try, since they’re made in the US and popular in her family. Turns out they’re perfectly made for small hands to open and close the lid by grabbing the “ears,” which makes the straw pop out.

Getting hydrated and playtime can go hand in hand!

In addition to being dishwasher-safe, BPA-free, BPS-free, and phthalate-free, these cups feature measuring lines so you know how much your little one is drinking. I might need one for my own water goals. 😉
