Siliskin Toddler Drinking Glass Review

You may have heard of Silikids: Siliskin Glass Bottle Covers but you might not have seen their new item.. the Siliskin Glass. A glass for toddlers, with a protective silicone sheath so they can drink like the “big kids” do!

I was excited to try this because in less than a year my twins will be considered toddlers. They’re still taking a bottle with milk once a day, the rest of the time they drink out of their sippy cups. They haven’t mastered the whole cup thing quite yet.. but they’re on their way to.

I let both of twins hold this new Siliskin Glass just to see if they’d try to drink out of it or not. Our little boy did try, if there was anything less than a few tablespoons of juice in the cup, it would have been all over the floor… but at least he tried and you could really tell he wanted to figure it out. But after showing him multiple times and encouraging him, we decided he just wasn’t ready yet.

My daughter.. well, she’s how she usually is.. she didn’t want anything to do with something new.. so the glass got thrown on the floor after she had a good look at it and felt the silicone covering! Once it ended up on the floor I rushed down to pick it up checking for any breakage or cracks.. but thankfully there wasn’t any. I then decided we’ll try again with the “big kids” cup holding in a few months and we’ll stick to the sippy cups for now.

I love the Siliskin Glass. I think it’s a great idea to have a glass for toddlers with a protective cover of it. The silicone will also allow them to easily grap the glass and that means less spills! It also seems pretty sturdy considering my daughter chucked it a good way and there was not even a crack in the glass. The Siliskin Glass gets a thumbs up from Mom Fuse. The glass come is a 6 oz. size and has a price tage of $7.95 at Silikids.com.
