sippy cup EIO Kids It’s smart! It’s environmentally-friendly! It’s useful! The EIO Kids Cup transforms any 8 oz. canning jar into a toddler training cup.

I haven’t tried this product yet, but I love the idea. I’ve got entire cupboard in my kitchen dedicated to empty canning jars — it’s always nice to find another use for them. Plus, it’s totally PBA-free.

These cups are spout-less, meaning they require sipping, not sucking. They’re not leak-free, but they look like they would help transition babies and toddlers from bottles to real cups better than traditional spouted cups. I watched a couple of demo videos on the EIO site and they seem great.

What about you? Do you have a favorite sippy cup brand? Do you have canning jars around the house you’d like to reuse?
