This Blue Spill Proof Trainer w/ Educational Shapes from Always Learning is a special elliptically shaped cup that helps baby learn about grasping, holding, balancing and tipping. One handle has easily recognizable shapes that stick out, and on the other they're indented -- so every time your baby picks up the cup she's learning about "left and right" and "in and out," as well as making other new connections in her mind. In addition, the cup's bite-resistant spout is positioned to make it easier for baby to take a drink, and the easy-grip handles help prepare her for self-feeding. 6 months and above.
