About 2 weeks ago we received an EIO kid's cup to review. Its actually not a cup but parts of a cup to be put on an 8oz canning jar (or you can buy it with the jar included). Let me explain. This new company (basically parents that weren’t happy with the sippy cup options out there) decided to design their own cup.
The EIO cup: The cup consists of a top that screws onto an 8oz glass canning jar and a silicone sleeve for the jar. The cup has a small opening for drinking so kids learn to drink properly from a cup. It has no valves, spouts or other typical sippy cup parts that are hard to clean, break and get lost often.
Things we LOVE about this cup: 
- Its BPA free
- It promotes proper cup drinking skills
- It promotes good speech development.
- It doesn’t break!
- Its reusable (we use canning jars for everything at our house).
I found this cup as I was searching online one day for plastic free dishes for my kids. My son is well known for his food, dish and cup throwing skills. One of his favorites is to pour “wawa” (water) on the carpet. So I thought we were stuck using sippy cups.
Then I came across the EIO cup. I contacted the company and they sent one out right away for me and Leo to review.
I washed and put it together easily and handed it off to Leo. He quickly figured out where the hole is to drink from and was able to easily drink from it. He now requests it when he sees it on the counter.
So check it out for yourselves. I know we will be purchasing a few more so we can get rid of those plastic sippy cups!
I work in Special Education and I have heard many speech therapists recommend no sippy cups after age 2 for proper speech development! The EIO cup can fill the gap between the sippy cup and a regular cup!
*Leo and I received a free cup to review for this blog post but no other compensation.
