The Brightberry Smoothie Cup is more than just a toddler cup — it’s a tool for independence and discovery. This thoughtfully designed piece supports Montessori’s principle of practical life skills by giving children the chance to pour, sip, and drink with confidence, and reflects Reggio’s view of daily materials as opportunities for collaboration and joyful routines. With its secure lid, toddler-proof straw, and soft silicone body, the Smoothie Cup turns snack time into a calm, empowering ritual for both children and parents.
✨ Why it matters for your child
Montessori: Encourages independence and practical life skills as children practise drinking confidently on their own.
Reggio: Makes snack time a playful, shared moment of discovery, where children learn through everyday routines.
🧡 Why Niji Bébé curated this
We curated this cup because it meets families where they are — balancing practicality for parents with empowering design for children. The straw’s stopper keeps it in place, the free-flowing design supports healthy oral development, and the cup transitions into an open cup as your child grows. It’s a safe, durable, and beautiful tool for modern homes that value calm, child-led learning.
