Munchkin 360 Sippy Cups for a Cause

If you're a parent, chances are you own at least one Munchkin Miracle 360 sippy cup. (We had two.) These cups are an ideal training cup for kids transitioning from the bottle to regular cup because of the 360-degree valve that lets kids drink from any side and seals automatically to prevent spillage.

Now these cups have a new look to support animal welfare efforts. Each purchase of a "Wild Love" cup supports Munchkin's partnerships with the International Fund for Animal Welfare and The Whale Sanctuary Project.

The cups feature images of threatened species, including the orca, red fox, polar bear, and African elephant. There's also child-friendly information about the risks these animals and their habitats face.

And, in accordance with Munchkin's goal to reduce the environmental impact of its products, the packaging for the Wild Love cups is made of 100-percent recycled and recyclable materials.

There's a reason that Munchkin hopes these cups will help parents talk to their kids about protecting the planet. Three of them, in fact. A recent UN report found that more than one million animal species are under threat of extinction, the U.S. weakened protections for endangered species just last week, and recent data shows that most kids don't learn about climate change in school.

I love the artwork on these cups. It definitely makes the cup more engaging for little ones, and therefore, might entice them to want to drink from it. And while they're drinking their milk or water, you can use the cup as a springboard to talk about the animal shown on the cup and how important it is to help conserve the animal's habitat.

What do you guys think of the eco-friendly aspect of these cups, from the recyclable packaging to their efforts at raising awareness?

A single Wild Love cup retails for $6.99 in either a 9-ounce sippy cup or a 6-ounce trainer cup with handles, while double packs of the sippy cups are $14. You can visit the Munchkin website to find a retailer near you.
