Zazi’s Clever Cups – Supporting Your Little One’s Open Cup Journey
Zazi has designed Clever Cups to help your child confidently master drinking from an open cup. With straight, non-slip sides for an easy grip, a curved and angled interior for smooth fluid flow, a weighted base to prevent spills, and soft silicone that’s gentle on developing teeth, every detail is thoughtfully crafted for success.
Yes, the learning process can get messy—but it’s worth it! Unlike sippy or straw cups, Clever Cups are all about encouraging natural skills. Start with small amounts or try thicker liquids like smoothies or watered-down purées to make it easier at first. The benefits far outweigh the mess—trust Zazi to make every step of the journey worthwhile!

Did you know that children can drink from an open cup from the moment you start solids?
That's right - 4, 5 and 6 month olds can be taught to drink from an open cup, and supporting them to do so has benefits for development.
1. Open cup drinking supports the development of a mature swallow.
2. It helps strengthen the muscles of the mouth that support speech
3. It promotes sipping rather than sucking which is good for jaw development
4. It prevents liquids from pooling around the upper front teeth
5. It develops their fine and gross motor skills
