My six month old bubs used to watch very intently whenever we drank out of our mugs. She's not keen on her sippy cup so I got this because it had tiny teacups in the set that she could try to practise her drinking.
While she hasn't quite mastered this skill, she adores the little cups, plates and bowls.
They are very well-made and sturdy—the kind where it wouldn't disintegrate after some rigorous use by kids. I especially like that they are NOT PINK AND/OR FLORAL like so many other similar sets.
