Just wondering if your 3-4 year old uses a regular cup, sippy cup, straw cup, etc?
We usually have DD use a sippy or straw cup just to keep her from spilling, but I feel like we should start having her use a regular cup during meal times.

At meals, either an open plastic cup or open glass. We let him sleep with a straw water bottle in his bed because he gets thirsty overnight.

If we are on the go, it's a straw cup. If we are at the table, she gets a juice glass. Small enough that it's not too heavy and I won't be too upset if it breaks. They're from Crate and Barrel.

Regular, open cup. I have some plastic ones that I think came from a dollar store that he loves because they're blue, but he also uses a small rocks glass. Super cheap on Amazon (I think like $10 for 6), 9oz, tempered glass. He's spilled a few times, but he's been using them for like a year and a half...

At the table at home both kids use open cups (age 1.5 and 4.5).
If we are heading out of the house or at a restaurant or something they get a straw cup with a lid.

He has a kiddie Tervis tumbler with a lid that I let him run around the house with, but he uses open cups regularly.

At home and at preschool he uses an open cup (plastic). For nighttime and when we leave the house he uses a camelbak water bottle.

At home, a glass. We have the crumble glass, the name is escaping me right now. They're treated so if they break, they crumble, not break into shards.
On the go, a plastic straw cup.

Usually glass at home. Sometimes they use their Thermos straw cups if I run out of the smaller glass cups and I'm too lazy to handwash one.

Only water from a straw cup, anything else milk, smoothie, sometimes juice gets consumed at the table in a open top jar/glass.

DD1 (4) Open cups unless we're out and about. DD2 (20m)still thinks it's funny to dump water so no open cup for her even though she knows how to use one.

We use open cups at home (ages 2.5 and 5). My kids aren't allowed to walk around the house with drinks, but there are almost always cups of water on the table so they can drink whenever they like.

She uses a thin, tall glass at home. I'd prefer a not-so-tall glass, but these were commemorative Mumin glasses from a local burger joint and it only came in one size.

He uses a regular cup at the table, glass or plastic. A straw cup on the go or just to carry around the house while he plays.
