“Ewwww Cooties”

No cooties for your Kids water bottles!

I have not written in some time.  I am so happy to see how much speed BPA free products have taken over the market especially with kids water bottles.  One thing I noticed though is that everyone has the same “kids water bottles”,  Some are different colors but very interchangeable.

 

I am currently taking care of a little boy named Bobby who indeed has what ever other kid has the Grip n’ Grab, his is green.  Recently I was washing “his” water bottle only to discover the nozzle was gnawed on and the initials on the bottom were not on the bottom anymore.  Simple, this was not Bobby’s water bottle but some strangers.  Maybe that is why he is getting sick.

So instead of dwelling on this too much I hastly went for a solution, the stickers to the left are a great way to make that bottle a very personal touch.  I created arts and crafts day and we decorated his bottles along with his sister.  They both got to pick the sticker and put it anywhere they wanted.  Now they will not let each other use the others bottle.  It was fun coloring in the animals and playing with them while creating a bottle that will hopefully stay more cootie free.

 

Solution created.  These stickers are machine washable and very fun but most of all it gives me a sense of security that he is using his own bottle and not sharing germs with other kids.  When he gets sick the work just piles up so if there is anything I can do to reduce sickness I will.  You mothers out there know exactly what I am talking about.  May your journey be as fun as mine.

Nalgene water bottle made for your kids and BPA-Free by Emily M Smith

 

 

Kids water bottles that seemed simple enough to search for, but no!  I searched and searched, I found BPA-Free for a baby and I found plenty for me, what about for my niece who is 3? (If you want to learn more about BPA, scroll down to my other article “What is BPA and why should I make changes?”)

 

I ventured over to Amazon and found exactly what I was looking for.  A kids water bottle that was not made of metal and looked great.  The Nalgene Tritan Grip n’ Grab was such a valuable find.  My nieces favorite color is purple, she was delighted when I gave her the bottle.  I was delighted when she gave it back and I easly washed the bottle by hand, (it is also dishwasher safe, but I do not have one).

You will appreciate these kids water bottles so much once you have one.  One of the features that I really loved was that it did not dent like the metal ones.  My niece is a failrly calm kid, nevertheless, her earlier Sigg bottle was dented so much that I had to replace it.

The Grip n’ Grab also is made to fit kids hands, this also cut down on spills.  The fewer spills I have to clean up, the more time I get to spend with my niece.

 

Check out the pink link to Amazon to your right.  You will also see my other choices for BPA-Free water.  You too will discover what great water bottles these are for the kids.

 

Overall this is a must have kids water bottle.  My nieces mom has bought 3 more so her daughter is never without on.  Two thumbs way up, and you will feel good to know you are making your kids healthy with fewer chemicals going through their little bodies.
