Description
This kids' melamine beaker carries the Wild Wonders print, a cheerful band of animals that runs all the way around the outside. A lion curls up beside a butterfly, an elephant in soft teal stands by a toucan, and a spotted wild cat prowls among leaves and dots, all drawn in orange, teal, yellow, green and a deep berry red against a clean white ground. The inside is plain white, so you can see exactly how much is left to drink. It stands 9.1cm tall and 6.2cm across, a simple, slightly tapered shape that small hands can wrap round, and it holds approximately 200ml, which is a sensible measure for a child's drink.
It is made for children's mealtimes at the kitchen table: a beaker of milk at breakfast, water with lunch or juice at teatime. Because it is melamine rather than glass or china, it is light in the hand, which makes it a good choice for little ones who are learning to manage a cup on their own. The animals give them something to point at and name while they eat, and the print is bright enough to make it easy to spot in a busy cupboard. It is also easy to pack for a visit to a grandparent's house or a picnic blanket in the park.
Melamine is easy to look after. The beaker is dishwasher safe on the top rack only, and it is not for use in the microwave, so warm drinks are best heated in something else and poured in. Between washes, a rinse and a wipe with a soft cloth keeps the print looking fresh. It is made in Thailand. We think it makes a happy present for a child who loves animals, wrapped on its own or with a favourite animal storybook, and it brings a splash of colour to the children's shelf at home.
