My middle daughter, who just turned three, is starting to transition away from sippy cups. Although it is nice not to have to keep track of lids and seals, her desire to drink messy beverages such as hot chocolate from a mug can be a bit messy to say the least. She just isnât entirely ready for a heavy, adult mug, and her attempts to deal with a cumbersome mug have led to more than a few disasters.Thatâs why Iwas drawn tothis Monkey Tail Mug from Cram Cream. Made to appeal to children, it features a vintage-inspired picture of a monkey, with red cherries and a momma monkey whose tail forms the handle of the mug. The end result is a sweet little cup that any child will be proud to use. Itâs child-friendly design makes it easy to use, too. While it wonât protect you from messes like a sippy cup, it will go a long way in encouraging your childâs independence as he or she grows up.You can purchase one for $17 at OlieBollen.com. A lion version is also available. Either would make a fun little gift.
