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... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-cup-does-your-4yo-use#post-2553338 Fri, 20 May 2016 15:06:08 +0000 mediagirl 2553338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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.
