The large handles allow children to practice holding and tilting a cup. With this drinking cup, they can do so without spilling, which is especially useful when you're on the go. Silicone is a great material to use in the kitchen environment. It doesn't break and is safe to use in the microwave, dishwasher, freezer, and oven. Even with intensive use, the tableware retains its shape and can easily be passed on to younger siblings or friends. The 100% food-grade silicone complies with all European safety standards.
