The Munchkin It's Silicone! Open Trainer Cup is a first cup designed for little ones learning to drink on their own. Made from super soft 100% food-grade silicone, this open training cup lets an early sipper practise drinking straight from the rim – no straw, bottle teat or spout involved. With a 2 oz / 59 ml capacity, it holds just the right amount of water or milk for those first attempts, while the soft, grippable body is sized to suit small baby and toddler hands.
Learning to drink from an open cup is often part of the same stage as starting solids, and it usually comes with a fair share of spills. This silicone baby cup is built with that in mind: the material is gentle on delicate, teething gums, the outside has a non-slip grip, and a lightly weighted base adds stability to help reduce tipping while your little one gets the hang of it.
How it works
- 360° open rim: Your child can sip from any point around the edge, encouraging independent drinking without needing to line up a spout or straw.
- Soft silicone build: The flexible, food-grade silicone is easy for small hands to squeeze and hold, and soft against teething gums.
- Weighted base: A lightly weighted bottom lowers the cup's centre of gravity to add stability and help reduce tipping.
Practical details
The cup measures 150 mm high, 95 mm wide and 60 mm deep, weighs 100 g and comes in teal with a two-tone contrast finish. It's free of BPA, BPS and PVC, and is top-rack dishwasher safe, so keeping it fresh between uses is straightforward.
Best For
The Munchkin It's Silicone! Open Trainer Cup is a great option for parents who:
- Want to introduce open-cup drinking to an early sipper, typically around the start of solids
- Prefer a soft, lightweight cup that small hands can grip and toddlers can manage themselves
- Like the idea of a cup with a weighted base to help keep spills in check during practice
It may not be the best fit if you:
- Need a fully closed, travel-ready cup for a nappy bag – an open cup is designed for supervised practice at the table rather than sealed transport
Pandylane Pro Tip
Open-cup learning is messy by design, so it helps to start with just a small amount of water at mealtimes while your little one is seated and supervised – the 2 oz size makes those early practice sips easier to manage for everyone.
