The device can be used for hot or cold drinks. The top and nozzle collar can be unscrewed for washing and sterilizing. Tapered nozzle is 5 1/2" (140 mm) long with 250 ml (8 oz.) reservoir.

PLAY Tip
Bringing Two Hands Together In The Midline
Look for toys that offer many grasping points like the Nobbly Wobbly, the Winkle, or the Skwish. Place the child on his or her back. Offer the toy to the side of the child, moving the toy slowly towards the child's midline. Alternate sides, concentrating on the weaker side if there is one. Gradually the child will begin reaching out with both hands. This is especially helpful for premature babies, children with hypotonia, Down syndrome, Cerebral Palsy , and general developmental delays.
