Doidy Slanted Cup
Note: Review only, product no longer for sale.
Widely recommended cup!
Unique angle reduces the need to tilt head back when drinking. It appeals to children because of its "leaning" shape. Sturdy handles on each side for secure grip. The slant lets the child see the feeder, the feeder see how the child is doing. It also prevents children from feeling "covered". 6 oz cup is dishwasher safe. Latex-free.

Play Tip!
It can be a messy business, learning how to drink independantly. Try bringing the Doidy Slanted Cup into the bathtub filled with something tasty. Children relax when they know that spills don't matter, making learning easier. The slant allows parents to see exactly what their children are doing, and offer gentle assistance if needed.

PLAY Tip
Bead Mazes perfect for children with Down Syndrome or Visual Impairments
Learning only happens when a child is interested enough to WANT to participate. Bead mazes teach a huge variety of skills. (cognitive, motor, perceptual, and language) but their true strength is the excellent play value kids find in these open-ended toys. This style is best for children with mild to moderate fine motor delays, and is especially suitable for low vision and blind children.
