Siliskin Glasses Review & Giveaway

 

My oldest is only four but he wants to be a grown up.  At dinner time he wants a big fork and an adult glass. Kids are often very eager to transition to a “big kid” cup while parents tend to want to wait a little longer so as to prevent accidents. Silikids Siliskin-Glass is the perfect solution. These glasses come with a “skin” made from 100% food grade silicone which provides two functions: slippage protections and glass protection.  The rubbery-like surface offers a nice grip for little hands while also acting as a shock absorber should the glass get dropped.  Since glass is reusable and recyclable and the cleanest option for drinking, Siliglasses are an eco-friendly alternative to other types of cups.  Siliskin is hypo-allergenic and BPA-free. It has no open pores to harbor bacteria and are easily removed for dishwasher cleaning. They can also be boiled to sterilize.  Make the transition easier for your family and better for the environment with Siliskin Glasses.  Available in 6 oz and 12 oz sizes, Siliskin Glasses are available as a set of 4 in a multipack of  aqua. lime, red and purple or as a set of 4 of a single color.  They retail for around $26 a set.

Both my 2 year old and four year old love these glasses.  They are just the right size — perfect for little hands yet the fact that they are glass make them feel so grown up.  I stick these in the dishwasher as they are and they come out fine (if a little wet) but I’m sure at some point I have to remove the sleeves and wash them separately.

Here are some interesting facts about Silicone from Silikids:
Silicone is…

clean Silicone is non-toxic and hypo allergenic. Silicone has no open pores, so it does not harbor
or promote bacteria or fungus growth. Because of its high heat resistance, silicone can be boiled to
sterilize, is dishwasher safe, and washer and dryer safe. Silicone does not fade or scratch, nor does it
retain odor and is sturdy and easy to clean.

bpa-free Due to recent concerns regarding BPA, many parents are switching to BPA free children’s
products. Silicone is the perfect solution. Silicone does not contain toxic chemicals like bisphenol-A,
lead, PVC and phthalates.

safe Silicone is made of silicon, a natural element present in sand, quartz and rock, which after
oxygen, is the most abundant element on earth. Silicon is transformed into silicone when combined
with oxygen, carbon and hydrogen. As it is an inert material, it does not react with food or
beverages, or produce any hazardous fumes. It’s non-toxic, hypo allergenic, does not promote
bacteria or fungus growth and does not transmit taste to food or liquids.

green Silicone does not decompose but is recyclable at specialty recycling facilities. If you can’t
locate one nearby, just send Silikids products back to the company and they’ll recycle it for you!
Remember, Silicone is extremely durable so you will not have to worry about disposal for a long
time.
