OXO tot - Trainer Cups and Flippy Snack Tubs

Having Willow has made me really appreciate anything that can make our lives as easy as possible.

 I totally forgot what it was like to have a teeny person to care for and as amazing as it is, it can be a lot of hard work too.

Especially with Willow being crazily into anything and everything right now, with all of the extra running around I have to do I like to try and keep everything else around me as simple as possible.

So when it comes to weaning and introducing her to "grown up" aspects of everyday life I have been loving products from the OXO tot range because whilst they look great they are also practical and help me out no end.

Not so long ago we had the opportunity to look at a few of their fabulous products and since then I have added more to our collection - a fabulous Perch Booster Seat (review coming very soon) and a few great little foodie type bits...

They are great - really colourful, simple to put together, easy to clean (oh thank you OXO tot!), durable and, going from the the items we already have, they will be really long lasting too.

I actually love this Transitions Open Trainer Cup and Willow does too...

The sleek shape and slim design make it the perfect size for her to hold herself...

...and the disc inside of the top can not only be adjusted for both fast and slow trainer drinking speeds but once the skill is mastered it can then be removed completely and the cup can be used "normally"...

~ Brilliant ~

I won't say we have quite grasped the whole adult drinking malarky just yet - mainly because Willow loves to loll about and spends the majority of her chilled out, having a drink time laying down so we have had a few slip ups and a few dribbles here and there...

...but mess is inevitable anyway isn't it, and this cup is certainly helping with the transition from sippy cup to adult cup - she really does feel like a big girl using it and beams from ear to ear which encourages and pushes her to keep going until eventually, she will have grasped the skill perfectly...

The second part of our latest OXO tot duo was this Flippy Snack Cup - a really useful container for snacking on the go...

Not only is this really easy for Willow to hold with its chunky handle but it is really very practical too - the flap at the top is soft and flexible meaning that whilst food is kept inside no matter how much it is tipped up or thrown about...

...it doesn't hurt or cause discomfort when Willow pops her little fingers inside to find her treats...

I have found this a godsend for helping to keep Willow busy whilst we rush around, getting ready for the morning school run - I simply pop in some dry cereal and fruit and then Willow has a little mini breakfast on the go whilst we are in the car - it keeps her occupied as well as fed and full.

So, as ever - an amazingly fabulous OXO tot bundle
