Silikids Siliskin 6oz Glass Review and Giveaway #WIN

Thursday, February 09, 2012


 At four months old my little girl slowly begun using a sippy cup. I remember how unsure of it she was and once she finally got the hang of it she would get the biggest smile like she was quite the pro at it. At almost fifteen months old she still uses a sippy cup but shows a great deal of interest in our cups. She is continuously pointing to our cups and really gets a kick out of using a straw. I eventually got her a sippy with a straw and just as soon as I did that her interest turned to water bottles and regular open top cups.

We recently got the opportunity to try out an awesome cup from Silikids.  Silikids was founded in 2006 by two friends who were also mothers naturally concerened about toxic materials in children's products. Silikids is a children's accessory company that is dedicated to making safe, clean and hygienic products out of silicone.  Although there are several companies that make silicone products for children, Silikids is the first company to introduce silicone sleeves for glass bottles.  Silikids also offers silicone knee pads for crawling little ones as well as glass sleeves for baby food jars and adult glasses. 

We received the Siliskin Glass 6oz in lime green.  As the name suggests, this cup is glass with a BPA free silicone cover.  Glass is known as the cleanest option for drinking and is a great alternative to plastic drink-ware.  This cup is small enough for toddlers to easily hold and the Siliskin makes it easy to grip as well as provide protection to the glass itself.  The Siliskin Glass 6oz comes in a four pack and can be purchased at www.silikids.com for $25.95. 

I will be honest, I was a little reluctant to put this glass in the hands of my fourteen month old.  I sat her in the highchair with the cup barely filled with some milk.  I stood closely just waiting for a disaster to happen since flinging her cups off the side of the highchair is not an uncommon occurrence.  The first couple of sips I guided her and "helped" but was truly amazed at how well she did thereafter.  Here is a little video of her drinking out of her big girl cup!  We will still use her sippy cup while we are out and about but while we are at home the Siliskin Glass is going to be our go to cup.  Here is a short video of her using the Siliskin Glass.
