• These Party Cups Will Be the Hit of the Party

  I've purchased the slightly more "adult" version of these cups (after the jump) for a party myself, but I see no reason why kids can't get in on the action with their very own Read More...

• African Designs on Products from Marimekko

  We've written about products from Finnish textile and design company Marimekko before, so here's another cool one to add to the list.

• 7 Days of BPA-Free Plastics: CamelBak Better Water Bottle

  My kids are (almost) completely done with sippy cups, so now I'm starting to think about how I'm going to bring a drink for them to the park without using a sippy cup. Luckily I found a BPA-free option at Amazon - The CamelBak "BPA- Free" Better Water Bottle. Read More...

• A New Slant on Cup Drinking: Meet Doidy

  Don't attempt to adjust your monitor! There's nothing distorted about the picture above; that's the Doidy Cup, developed in the UK as a trainer cup suitable for even the very young. The two handles are a no-brainer, of course, but the slanted design makes it easier to drink from without spiling. Doidy makes the transition from breast or bottle to an open cup much easier, as well as giving everyone at the table something to talk about. Imported to the US and available from Smart Baby Mall. ($7.90 each in a variety of colors.) Posted Dec 13 2007, 07:01 AM by Mir with | with no comments Filed under: dining, cups, training cup, slanted cup, doidy cup

• Halo Cups Stand Up to Being Bumped

  There was a period of time in my life when I joked that you knew the meal was done when my son knocked over his milk. Little kids are clumsy, and you can keep 'em in sippy cups forever or you can put up with the mess. Or -- you can pick up some Halo cups. Small, lightweight, and stackable, they also have a wrap-around handle that creates the trademarked wider base. They're a lot harder to tip over than normal cups, which means you may save yourself from a few puddles. $4.25 apiece at Amazon.

• Lazy Chocolate Milk Fiend? Get a Hog Wild Moo Mixer!

  I have absolutely no idea why we're the most obese nation in the world, do you? I mean, if my kid loves chocolate milk but cannot be bothered to expend the two calories needed to stir it himself, I say it's logical to shell out $12.90 (at Amazon) for this Moo Mixer by Hog Wild. Battery operated mixing means my little darling can continue sitting there like the useless lump the good lord intended him to be.

• Eat, Drink and Be Within Reach: Sip 'N Snak

  It doesn't have any bells or whistles, no artist signatures or fancy decorations; it's just form following function with resultant perfection. The Sip 'N Snak (reduced to $5.02 at Baby Planet Boutique) is a spill-proof cup attached to a snack container with just the right size opening for little fingers. The whole shebang is dishwasher safe and even comes with a strap to attach it to your stroller -- no more cups thrown overboard at the mall.

• French Bull Must-Have Monster Cups

  Remember the set of monster plates from French Bull featured here last month? You can now get the coordinating set of monster cups, too ($24 at Zebra Hall). (I love how they all have belly buttons; perhaps as a reminder than even monsters have mommies?)

• Grab a Dumbo Cup

  Easy to grab, reminiscent of everyone's favorite elephant, this Dumbo Training Cup ($14 at Modern Baby) will have your little one flinging juice everywhere in no time.
