AnonyMouse_13453 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 If your setting has them, can you possibly describe them to me (size etc) or better, do you have a photo? Thanks ppp I went on their website the other day when someone else mentioned them. Our County isn't registered with them so we couldn't get them anyway.

AnonyMouse_25331 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 They are blue slightly narrower at the bottom than at the top - no handle... They have a line drawing of some children on one side and the line marking 1/3rd pint on the other. Dont' have a picture but could take one tomorrow!

Guest Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Thanks mps09! I would appreciate it. Don't want to order lots and find they're not suitable. ppp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_5458 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 They're about as tall as a standard tumbler, not as stiff as a handled plastic cup. Too lightweight for the dishwasher, if that gives you an idea of the thickness of the plastic? We found them too big for snack time drinks and use them as our water cups, where the children help themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 We use them at snack time although never fill them to the 1/3 line, as found its too much for the children to drink at one time Also never a break goes by without one, maybe 3 beakers have been knocked over But thats normal isent it!

AnonyMouse_13453 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 No, our melamine beakers don't get tipped as they are low and stable. They occasionally get knocked off a table by a recalcitrant elbow, but only maybe one or two a month at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_5458 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) actually that's a valid point rosyposy, we always have the beakers being knocked over because they're not as sturdy as the cups. they're good for trips as they're light and stack easily but I wouldn't replace my snack time cups with them.

AnonyMouse_1999 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 We have our free tumblers stacked by the water machine and children help themselves. Strangely we haven't had any knocked over but when we used them at snack time we had quite a few getting knocked! We have cups with handles for snack time. We found that alot of our children actually rarely drink from anything with a handle - nine times out of ten they use drinking bottles of some sort outside the setting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
