10oz Double Wall Acrylic Plastic Snow Globe Water Bottle

I’ll tell you why I loved these bottles for my three kids the past few months (ages 2, 4, and 9): 1. They are not huge! I know it sounds strange but my kids honestly don’t need a 16 or 20 oz bottle most days. On extra hot days they’ll refill it, but this 10oz size is really attractive since it’s lightweight and doesn’t bog down their knapsacks with tons of water. 2. They are very durable. They have been thrown down and dropped more times than I can count and the most damage they’ve ever incurred were some scratches. One of my 4 began to leak after about 6 months but at that point I’m ready to replace so it doesn’t matter to me. I don’t like keeping them forever. 3. They are easy to clean. The straw comes out without a fuss and the whole thing goes into the dishwasher. There are no weird areas for mold to accumulate and no squishing of flexible straws that get gross with time. 4. Kids can drink them upright i.e. without having to tilt their head back and guzzle from an open-mouth bottle. The valve on top allows continuous sucking while the bottle is upright which makes it easy for my younger ones. 5. The bottle is clear. Yes, clear! I like to know how much water is left in there and those steel bottles are opaque and you never know until you pour it out. I like keeping track of how much my kids are drinking. 6. They never got moldy. No weird odors or mold accumulation at all. We’ve used them with water only (sometimes with added flavoring) but no juice or milk, so maybe that’s what helped. 7. They were fun to personalize. I ordered custom decals with each kid’s name on it and this way we all knew whose was whose.
