Extra Lucky Registry Guide

This guide includes both traditional items as well as items I used for my daugher with Down syndrome. Many of the specialized products you see can be helpful for babies and toddlers with sensory needs, hypotonia, speech delays and other conditions that are sometimes associated with Down syndrome, autism and other disability diagnosis, as well as other delays.

Special Supplies Honey Bear Straw Cup

$7.99

Smart Therapy Sippy Bottles – A squeezable honey bear design with long, flexible straws, this Juice Bear bottle with 3 reusable straws makes it easy to squeeze out liquid and get a drink even if a child or adult has low suction or special needs. Wide, Easy-Flow Drink Straws – Our straws are wide to let liquid pass through more effortlessly and to help the squeeze push it more readily into your mouth. This makes it easier and faster to get a drink with far less effort. Leak-Resistant, Spill Proof Lids – We’ve added screw-on lids that feature silicone seals to help protect against leaks or messes. This makes them better for everyday use around the house or when you’re traveling in the car. See-Through Body Design – Each juice bear cup is transparent to make it easier for kids to see the liquid inside and watch it pass through the straw at the same time which helps reduce spills or over-drinking. Heavy-Duty BPA Free Plastic – Special Supplies plastic bear bottles are crafted with premium food-grade safe materials which makes them perfect for water, juice, milk, or other favorite beverages. Dish washer safe, but we recommend hand washing for long-term use. Designed in the USA
