Cups and tableware for the dining room

In the school dining room and daycare, the cup falls. It’s not a possibility, it’s the routine. That’s why the priority here is that it doesn’t break and that it’s clear whose it is.

An unbreakable children’s cup is made of food-grade silicone or polypropylene, materials that absorb impact without chipping. They differ from glass and ceramic in that a fall does not create sharp fragments.

The daycare cup, which is never just one

Many centers require an identified cup that stays in the classroom all week. Since they all look similar and are on the same shelf, they end up getting mixed up, and in a two-year-old group, that means sharing a cup unintentionally.

A name engraved directly on the material—not a sticker that falls off when washed—solves the problem throughout the school year.

Recommended selection

Why it works

Silicone that does not chip

Absorbs impact and bounces back. No fragments or sharp edges on the dining room floor.

Name engraved, not glued

We laser engrave on silicone: the name is marked on the material and does not wash off.

Suitable for food contact

Complies with EC Regulation 1935/2004, which governs materials that come into contact with food and drink.

Size that fits a small hand

Diameter matters more than capacity: if they can’t wrap their hand around it, it slips even if it weighs little.

Frequently asked questions

Are they dishwasher safe?

Silicone ones are, and the laser engraving doesn’t change because it’s not ink: it’s the material itself marked.

Are they suitable for hot liquids?

Food-grade silicone tolerates temperature, but for a small child it’s wise to serve lukewarm, regardless of the cup’s material.

Can the name be added?

Yes, laser engraved on the silicone. It’s the option that lasts the whole school year, unlike stickers, which peel off after the second wash.

What capacity is suitable for nursery?

Small: between 150 and 250 ml. A very full glass spills when lifted, and at that age the goal is for them to drink alone without getting wet.

Can I order several with different names?

Yes. Each unit is engraved with the name you specify in the order, so you can order several different ones at once.

Doesn't break and you know whose it is
