Thoughtfully Designed: The ezpz Mini Cup + Straw Training System teaches older babies + toddlers to drink from an open cup and safely learn to use a straw. The straw serves as a Beginner Training Straw + an Advanced Training Straw, and the straw length and diameter are designed for straw introduction. Sensory bumps keep the infant / toddler’s lips at the tip of the straw. Weighted base and tactile bumps provide topple resistance, making it an ideal weighted straw cup for toddlers. | Designed + Tested By A Pediatric Feeding Expert: All ezpz products are designed to help children meet milestones safely and effectively. Dawn Winkelmann, M.S, CCC-SLP’s 3-Phase Developmental Drinking Method helps toddlers succeed with open cup and straw drinking milestones. Our toddler straw cups are crafted with expertise to support your child's development. | Straw Drinking Is Important: Learning to drink from a straw is an important developmental milestone that develops lip rounding, supports the development of a mature swallow, and promotes speech development.
