Water

[mickyc]

We eat afternoon snack outside most days and I bring water out every time. I take the opportunity to teach the kids how to drink out of an open top cup instead of a sippy cup (plastic ones from dollarama). Not a big deal if we are outside and they spill the water all over. I then leave their cups on the picnic table so they can help themselves.

Even indoors the kids have full access to their cups whenever they need it. They must be left on the table though. NO walking around with cups!

Edit to add: I personally think it is teaching good manners to keep all food and drink at the table only and never allow it anywhere else , even outdoors it is left on the table.
