This Klean Kanteen Sippy is an alternative to sippy cups made from materials that are made from polypropylene plastic (pp#5) which have a tendency to leach out. The Klean Kanteen is made from stainless steel and is toxin free. Drinking water from a stainless steel Klean Kanteen sippy cup will taste clean and odor free for your child. I admit they’re a little unusual looking (I thought they were finger paint containers) but they’re designed for safety and use by toddlers. The reusable, lightweight 12oz stainless steel bottle is made especially for small hands.

It comes with a sippy adapter made from safe, non leaching polypropylene plastic (pp#5) and 2 spouts. Simply replace the sippy cup adapter with a flat cap, loop cap, or a sport drinking cap as your child grows out of the sippy cup stage.

The Klean Kanteen Sippy measures 5″ H x 2.75″ W (without cap) and holds 12 fluid ounces. The cup weighs 4oz and costs $19.95 at naturalpod.com.

I’m trying to transition my toddler to open-topped cups, which of course is an adventure.  It helps, though, to have fun and appealing cups to choose from.  I love these great cups designed by Jackie Shapiro for French Bull.  Made of melamime, these cups are dishwasher-safe and lots of fun.

I love the funny looking monsters on the French Bull Monster Cups that no little boy or girl can resist.  The set includes four tumblers, which hold about 6 oz each.  You can purchase a set of your very own for $24 at Bediboo.com.  An adorable matching set of plates is also available for $26.
