MegaMum Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Our cups seem to have disappeared over time and I need to replace them but I am having trouble finding them. We have cups with one handle which seem to work really well. Does anyone know where I can get them? I've googled it, but they seem to come up with ones with monkeys etc on, which is fine, but if I have 8 of those and 15 plain.... I can see the arguments now when I know how it is with pink plates!!!! I just want some plain ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I will watch with interest - I am always on the 'look out' for new cups - ours came from Whittards years ago - really need replacing now but have never found anything as 'good' - they have one handle and a super wide base......

Steve Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Can we assume you're talking about cups for your children, megamum? Not for you and your staff? :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueJ Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) The Consortium do these http://www.educationsupplies.co.uk/early-years/nursery-equipment/cups-and-beakers/polycarbonate-cups Alternatively we got ours from Wainwrights in our colours with our logo printed on them - they are very robust and dishwasher safe too http://www.wainwrightscreenprint.co.uk/mugs-and-tumblers.html They were so popular that we got them with an Xmas design one Christmas for Christmas pressies for the children!

Stargrower Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 We have The Consortium ones, and they're great. We have the plates etc in the same range and some of them are 10 years old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargrower Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hi SueJ You posted the same link twice. Would you be able to post the Wainwright's link? I'd love to have a look. Thank you! :1b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finleysmaid Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 why do you want cups with handles? just interested . We just use ikea cups....no handles though. I don't think many children drink from handled cups at home now do they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narnia Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Ikea here too, replaced every year because of chew marks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargrower Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 We have Ikea ones too (and some of the Consortium handled ones). The advantage of beakers with no handles is that they stack...and we have a LOT of cups! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaMum Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Thanks everyone. In response to why handles? We have beakers without and ones with one handle. Our little ones seem to get on much better with the handle ones. Plus they seem to be easier for them when they pour their drinks - their small hands seem to hold the handle in one hand much better than without, and the jug in the other. There seems far less spills too with these. Older children are fine with either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
