Expanded researched review

Six cups that do more than make a stack

Suction bases add sticking to the familiar cup activities of stacking and scooping. The small set can move between a dry arrangement and closely supervised water exploration. The interest comes from trying the same cups in several ways, with cleaning and drying still needed after water play.

Best fit: Attaching cups to a suitable surface is likely to add something to the child's usual cup play.
Before buying: Supervise water play and clean and dry cups after use. Use the stated age guidance and adjust adult help to the child rather than expecting a particular learning outcome.
