These cups are the best. Seriously.
If I could pick ONE and ONLY ONE toy to entertain a baby for the entire first year and beyond, THIS IS IT. Hands down, no question.
These cups are frickin' amazing and versatile. Light enough for young babies to handle, sturdy enough for older babies and toddlers to beat on, no sharp corners, compact and easy to travel with, and they make a really satisfying clattering noise when you knock them down, unlike those soft blocks.
Yeah, I hear you saying, "Oh, they're just a bunch of stupid plastic cups. How exciting could they possibly be? What do you even DO with them??" Everything. Check it out.
- Nest 'em, of course
- Stack 'em, of course, in all kinds of ways. Either biggest on the bottom or smallest on the bottom, in order or out of order, one tower or multiple towers. At first you stack them and the baby knocks them down, but older babies can stack and nest them themselves
- Chew on the rim, because teeth
- Hide the small cup under the big ones
- Put a small cup inside a bigger one and rattle it
- Roll them - they go in a circle and come back because of the rim
- Bang them together
- Bang them on the floor
- Drive them across the floor
- Float and sink them in the tub
- Pour water in and out of them
- Balance them on your head and let the baby laugh at you
- Teach sizes, colors, and numbers
- Pretend they are anything. Cars, turtles, cooking pots, phones, whatever
Just buy them. Your kid will know what to do.
