Several months ago I read about Drinkbands. I LOVE the idea, but being who I am, could not really see myself spending the money on them, $12,50 for nine different colors. I know my children too, and realize they could likely get lost in little to no time. Hey, being real here with toddlers in the house who love to play make believe at all times.
Over time, the idea kept coming back to me, over and over again… I would walk into the kitchen and see ten to fifteen cups on the table and only have eight people in the house and have no clue whose cup was whose, I knew I needed to figure something out.
And then I had a light bulb moment…
Remember those “Jelly Bracelets” from the 80s? You know, the ones that are coming back into style?
Well, they work on many of our cups. They are cheap…for 40 bracelets in 10 different colors, I paid $6. I found them at our local Dollar General. Bingo, they work on our child size cups, and my children are loving them.
If we have company with other littles in the house, I will combine colors on one cup, so they know what cup is theirs.
