We’ve tried all sorts of childrens cups over the years. Recently I was offered the opportunity to try some new cups from The First Years – Disney Magical Color Change Sippy Cups.
ABOUT THE FIRST YEARS COLOR CHANGE SIPPY CUPS
Brand new for 2012, The First Years introduces Magical Color Change technology in their Disney Insulated Cup line, which remains BPA Free. When Mom pours chilled liquid into the insulated cup, it magically changes to a darker color. As the liquid cools to room temperature, the cup changes back to its original color. Parents will love the peace of mind this technology provides and children will marvel at the magic of color change!
Your child’s favorite Disney characters (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Disney Princess, Disney Fairies, Toy Story 3 and Cars 2) combined with new BPA-Free Magical Color Change technology will bring fun to every mealtime! The cups make clean up easy for parents too with the exclusive Easy Clean Valve System™, a one-piece lid with a built in spill-proof valve, eliminating the need for extra cleaning. Watch the magic here.
MY THOUGHTS
I received a set of Cars 2 Color Change Sippy Cups. As with The First Years cups that we’ve had in the past, the cups are dishwasher safe and wash well. The coloring and pattern of the graphics also washes and wears very well. The color change is pretty neat. You don’t have to do anything to get the color to change, just add a cold liquid or any liquid with ice cubes. The color fades back to its original state as the liquid returns to room temperature.
I wasn’t able to get good pictures of the color changing, so here’s video of it from The First Years.
All The First Years Sippy Cups are BPA-free and dishwasher safe and are available in the following styles:
· Insulated Sippy Cup: These cups feature double-wall insulation to keep a child’s drink cooler longer and a “sweat-proof” surface making it easier to grip. 9 oz. cup. Age 9 months and up. MSRP: 2 pack $8.99
· Grown Up Trainer Cup: For children who want a cup just like Mom and Dad’s coffee cup, The First Years created the Grown Up Trainer Cup. The cup’s lid assists with the transition from a sippy cup to an open cup by mimicking a normal lip grip to an open cup. Mom will also like that the cup is spill-proof for learning. 9 oz. cup. Age 18 months and up. MSRP $4.99 each
