Occupational Therapy: Self Feeding: The Doidy Slanted Cup
It can be a messy business, learning how to drink independently. 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.
