It wouldn't matter if the top was a little chewed on.

Our lids are what look the worst because the kids bit on the spout. I also have tupperware cups with sipper lids so I still have something to use if they are sick or taking in the van etc. My kids are 6 and 8 but they only get open cups at the kitchen table. If they want to take a drink elsewhere they must use a sports type covered bottle.

I keep one cup in each "bag" for my little one. After wasting money on fancy ones, we went to the little cups with the lid, and because they chew, the lids get used up. We use the cups for juice, perfect size! And the "disposable" ones for emergencies, snacks during traveling, and other times were they can get lost.

Sippy cups also make good toothbrush holders for kids. RE: Uses for Sippy Cups Post by PassionPower73 (2) | (12/20/2004) Contact My kids still use the sippy cups just without the lids because they are still little enough to use them and it is perfect for the hands. But if they are way to old for them. Use them for paint brushes to rinse of the paint for water colors. Or use them for pencils.

RE: Uses for Sippy Cups Post By Tawnda (Guest Post) (06/08/2004) I have one in my kids bathroom with q-tips in it. It helps to keep them from spilling the q-tips all over the always wet countertop after brushing their teeth, etc. It also keeps the littlest one from getting in to them without help.

RE: Uses for Sippy Cups Post By Lee-Ann (Guest Post) (06/04/2004) If you can't think of anything around the house, (my kids just use them now without the lids), you could save them for your daughter to use with her dolls, or give them to a daycare, or women/children shelter. Save Those Trainer Cups! Post by ThriftyFun (4042) | (06/04/2004) Profile | Blog! | Contact When my children graduated from small sippie trainer cups to 'big kid' cups, I remained faithful to my pack rat tendencies. I now keep the trainer cups in the bathroom cabinet to rinse after my family and I brush our teeth instead of paper cups. After each use (one cup per person per brushing), I simply run the cups through the diswasher on 'sanitize'. Plus, since they're small, they fit in the cabinet perfectly! This way, I'm saving money, saving a tree, and reducing waste all at the same time. By Melissa
