Stacking Cups - Rainbow

The Silicone Stacking Cups in Rainbow are a six-cup nesting set in food-grade silicone — stack them into a tower, nest them into a single column for storage, scoop water with them in the bath, sort by color, or use them as cake-decorating molds. One product, a dozen uses, indestructible.

WHAT'S IN THE SET
Six graduated cups in the Rainbow colorway. Smallest to largest, each cup nests inside the next so the whole set stores as one column on a shelf.

WHAT IT DOES
Stacking cups are the closest thing to a perfect baby toy: they teach size sequencing, hand-eye coordination, cause-and-effect (build a tower, knock it down), and they work in the bath, the sandbox, and on the kitchen counter. The silicone version solves the durability problem that plastic stacking cups have always had — they don't crack when stepped on, don't trap water inside, don't get dropped and split at the seams.

MATERIAL AND SAFETY
100% food-grade silicone (FDA standards). Free of BPA, PVC, phthalates, lead, and cadmium. Exceeds CPSC and CPSIA safety requirements. The silicone is rigid enough to hold a stacked tower but flexible enough to absorb a drop without cracking.

HOW TO USE IT
Stack them. Knock them down. In the bath, fill the largest with water and pour into the smallest. In the sand, scoop and dump. Babies will mouth them at the early-grip stage; toddlers will sort, sequence, and decorate; preschoolers will use them as pretend tea cups or muffin molds.

CARE
Top-rack dishwasher safe. Warm soapy water and air dry between full washes. The cups stack flat for storage — they take up the same shelf space as a single coffee mug.

WHO IT'S FOR
Babies 6 months through age 4. The set scales from early-grip exploration (8-12 months) to sequencing play (12-24 months) to pretend play (2-4 years).

THE COLORWAY
Rainbow is one of our stacking-cup colorways — pastel rainbow gradients designed to coordinate with our other silicone products.

GIFTING
At $19.95, stacking cups are the most-recommended early-toddler gift in our line. They last through three age stages, they're dishwasher safe, and they survive being thrown across a room. Pair with a teether or wash cloth set for a sub-$40 gift.

DESIGNED IN CANADA
Loulou Lollipop has been making baby products in Vancouver since 2014. The Stacking Cups were added to the line in 2021 as the silicone alternative to traditional plastic stacking cups that crack when stepped on. The team designed the cups with a wider lip than typical stacking cups so smaller babies can grip them — most off-the-shelf stacking cups are sized for 18-month-plus motor skills.

MULTI-STAGE USE
The stacking cups work across three developmental stages. At 6-12 months: mouthing and grabbing (developing pincer grip). At 12-24 months: stacking and sequencing (developing fine motor and size discrimination). At 2-4 years: pretend play (tea parties, sandbox scooping, cake-decorating molds for parents). Few baby products span three years of use; the cups are one of the highest-value items in the catalog on a cost-per-day basis.

BATH + SAND USE
The cups are designed to handle water and sand without warping. In the bath, they nest as bath toys that can hold and pour water. In the sandbox, they double as scoops and molds. The silicone is firm enough to hold a tower shape and flexible enough to absorb the inevitable drop. Wipe clean after sand-play, top-rack dishwasher for the bath rotation.

For Ages: 12 months and up
