Sponsored Advertising Content

By Kathy Eggleston January 11, 2017
When the company NUK asked me to host a dinner party for a few kids between the ages 3-8 for the purpose of trying out their new line of cups and tableware, I was extremely interested. NUK, a household name to all parents, offers products made to support the different development stages of your child. NUK speaks true to their values and has developed a new line of cups and tableware, geared towards kids ages 3-8. 

NUK KIDS Magic 360 Ultra Grip Cups

When I first laid eyes on these cups, I have to admit, I was really skeptical about how they worked. NUK KIDS Magic 360 Ultra Grip Cups is a busy mom’s answer to constant spills. I get so frustrated with my kids’ water cups spilling in my handbag and soaking everything inside it. Not anymore. The NUK KIDS Magic 360 Ultra Grip Cup automatically seals shut after drinking. The cup features the best 360 degree rim technology, licensed from WOW! Gear, with no hidden crevices/areas unlike other cups - making it 100%Leak-Proof & Spill-Proof Guaranteed! There are only 2 parts of the cup to disassemble - making it also very easy to clean. Along with the unique cup shape with built-in grips, this is the perfect cup for toddlers and up.

NUK KIDS Straw Ultra Grip Cups

I have seen and gone through many straw cups for my kids, and this one is by far the best straw cup I have seen on the market. The NUK KIDS Straw Ultra Grip Cup comes with a unique design that is easy to hold for little hands, along with a finger loop for easy carrying. The cup includes a unique slider for the straw to be enclosed when not in use - making it 100% leak and spill proof, which means NO MORE spilled drink messes for this mama to clean up! No more desperately searching my drawers to find the matching components for the cup, the NUK KIDS Straw Ultra Grip Cup comes with a two piece straw and is very easy to disassemble and clean. All the kids loved the color combinations of the cups and loved the unique slider tool to open and close the straw.

NUK KIDS UTENSIL SET

All the kids at the party were thrilled to use a unique set of NUK KIDS utensils made especially for their age range. The moms at the party were thrilled that NUK designed a kid’s utensil set that was just the perfect size for each of their kids. There are so many options for kids’ utensils on the market, but what we loved about the NUK KIDS utensil set was that they were made for the “in between” age of kids - where their hands were too big for toddler utensils but adult utensils were too big for them. The NUK utensil handles have “indents” on the top and bottom sides for proper thumb and finger placement- which was the perfect utensil for my 4 year old son, who has trouble with his “pincher” grip.  With the “pincher” grip on these utensils, he has been able to practice his motor skills while eating.

All of the kids had a chance to use the butter knife, and really enjoyed using it to cut their chicken nuggets into smaller bite sized pieces and also using it to spread their frosting on their dessert.

Kendall, age 7 exclaimed “Look, I am really using a knife!” A knife that allows a child to have a good grip and practice cutting food safely is a win- win in my book!

NUK KIDS RECYCLED PLATES 2PK

The kids were served macaroni & cheese, chicken nuggets and carrot sticks on NUK KIDS RECYCLED PLATES. For those of you moms who have kids that are picky eaters and don’t like their food, “touching each other”- this is the dish that was created for you! The plate features 4 compartments and is the only plate on the market that has a condiment compartment - perfect for the dipping sauces! Made from recycled materials and 100% BPA free, this is a purchase that is eco-conscious and you can really feel good about. Most plastic plates for kids ages 3-9 are absolutely not microwave safe. NUK KIDS RECYCLED PLATES are Microwave-safe & Dishwasher-safe and stackable – saving room in my cabinets!  I plan on replacing all of my dinnerware with NUK. 

NUK KIDS products are currently available at Target, Target.com, NUK-USA.com; Available at Walmart in April 2017.
