S/o plastics

What do you anti plastics people use for kids? Ds is coordinated enough for a glass cup but dd is nowhere near there. They both eat on real plates but to transport their snacks to school we use the bpa free plastics. I know that's not always reliable but I'm unsure of what other options there are.

What about the thermos brand thermos'? it's metal and has a rubber straw/drink valve thing.
I have also seen glass water bottles

Good idea for backpack but I'm looking for a more durable open cup option. That's what dd uses at home/school.

Stainless steel. We use the safe sippies and they also have a sports bottle. I forget what brand it is sells glasses wrapped in silicone.

eta it's siliskins. They're glasses wrapped in a silicone sleeve and they have small ones for kids.

Holyshit at a kiddie 8oz glass being $13. Now I know why people go with plastic.

I use the ikea plastic cups for most stuff. But I also use small, 8oz mason jars for the kids. They are less fragile than regular glasses, I think.

I found a bunch of 3oz glasses at a local Xmas Tree shops. They are super thick walled. We use those at home and keep it on the kitchen bench where she can reach it. Oddly enough the dog broke one with his curly tail.

I'm also looking for travel cups. She won't use anything with a spout so I've just been using whatever I have.

DS uses small mason jars at home too.
For school lunch I use a combo of stainless steel and glass with silicone sleeves (we have lifefactory cups and snack storage containers for DS). School ends at 12:15 so he does eat lunch at school but after class ends so I'm there to help open things etc.
At school they are served snacks using bpa free plastic plates and little stainless steel cups for milk/water.

Poof

I'm not anti plastic. But DS2 has this little stainless steel cup. It came in with a matching plate and bowl.


ETA: I use a thermos brand for on the go.

How about enamelware? You can get durable camping cups for a good price.
