I’m planning for summer. Yes, I am. It may be freezing outside, but the days are getting longer, my tomato seedlings are stretching tall like little soldiers and hope is in my heart.
And before we know it, we’ll be wiping our dripping foreheads and sighing about the heat and what we’d give for a long cool drink, and as my imagination goes into overdrive, my thoughts turn to my grandkids.
They’re both super sporty and I get exhausted just watching, as they leap three feet into the air and do flying somersaults before dashing into the garden for football or to practise backwards shots into the basketball net, which their devoted father erected last year on the shed door.
Which naturally brings my thoughts, as a doctor, to keeping them hydrated and preventing overheating in the summer sun, which really is just around the corner, I promise you.
So I’m super excited about b.box Insulated Drink And Water Bottles, created by two Australian mums who totally get what’s needed in kid’s accessories.
Firstly I love that the drink bottles are insulated, meaning you can keep your child’s drink cool for up to 8 hours, and if needed, you can keep drinks warm too. Made with stainless steel and BPA-free plastic (a big plus for me), they’re surprisingly light, and strong enough to survive a few drop kicks when your grandsons practise their football skills (or is that just my two?)
With push button opening, the bottles are easy to fix together, open and close (imperative to avoid tantrums -from frustrated grandmothers that is, the kids are fine). The inbuilt straw is a favourite with the youngsters and the whole unit comes out for easy cleaning. I can confirm that they’ve been destruction-tested by my grandkids and still looks like new.
Available from Amazon, this high quality Drink and Water Bottle is a great price at £19.99. Made in a great range of funky colours, what’s not to like? And do check out the rest of the range too, including Sippy Cups, Insulated Food Jars and Fresh Food Feeders plus much more, your kids will love them.
