Did you know that children can drink from an open cup from the moment you start solids?

That's right - 4, 5 and 6 month olds can be taught to drink from an open cup, and supporting them to do so has benefits for development.

1. Open cup drinking supports the development of a mature swallow.

2. It helps strengthen the muscles of the mouth that support speech

3. It promotes sipping rather than sucking which is good for jaw development

4. It prevents liquids from pooling around the upper front teeth

5. It develops their fine and gross motor skills

We've developed Clever Cups to cleverly teach your little one how to drink successfully from an open cup. The straight, non-slip sides are easy to grip, the inside is curved and angled so that fluids flow consistently, the base is weighted to prevent it toppling and the soft silicone is safe for developing teeth.

We've thought of everything.

YES you need to expect that the learning process will be messy. But there's a good reason we don't sell sippy cups or straw cups which are designed to reduce mess - it's because kids are very capable when we give them the learning opportunities. Try only placing a little bit in the cup if you're worried about mess initially. You can also try adding smoothies or watered down puree as these will flow slower so your little one isn't caught off guard. The mess is worth it and the benefits outweigh the negatives - trust us!!

What age are these cups for?
From starting solids and beyond. Try introducing the cup into your little one's hands from age 4 months onwards.

Can older children use them?
Yes. They fit in a lot of liquid, they're smash proof and they're comfy to drink from.

How can I teach my baby to drink from an open cup?
Help them in the beginning by letting them close their lips around the rim and then gently tipping it for them. When they're more familiar, try placing the cup in one of their hands, the other will likely naturally grasp the cup too and then you can gently help them tip it back whilst they're holding it. With practice at every mealtime, they'll soon learn how to grasp, pick up and sip from an open cup independently.

How can I clean my silicone?
Everything goes in the dishwasher or some warm soapy water will do the job.
