unbreakable non-plastic CUP

[redhen]

my daughter mostly drinks out of regular cups and I'm trying to reduce the plastic in my home... I'm blanking though on what she could use that isn't GLASS and isn't a sippy cup (or sports bottle like sigg or klean kanteen).

Ideas?

You can get metal cups at any camping supply store.

At our house we mostly use sturdy glass and ceramic, though.

DD was gifted a little silver plated cup that was great when she was first learning to use one.

I also got some little heavy duty porcelain (I think?) espresso cups at a thrift store and she loves those. These are the really thick ones- like restaurant ware - not the dainty thinner ones. They aren't *completely* unbreakable but are pretty heavy duty. If we had tile floors I probably wouldn't use them.

Stainless steel! you can get them pretty cheap at Indian food stores. :-) They are impossible to break, and don't weigh as much as a sigg cup. (or a regular drinking glass).

I've also seen stainless steel tumblers sold in the bath section of Target & other box stores - the kind of cup you would use to rinse toothpaste out of your mouth. Probably more expensive than camping cups, though. That's a good idea!

We have some stainless steel cups, but we don't use them. Maybe ours are just cheaply made, but you can taste the metal. I think my mom found them at TJ Maxx.

DS loves using one of those metal to-go coffee cups. everything he drinks in it "coffee"
