Munchie Mug — A Dad-Designed Product for Kids
Are you tired of scraping goldfish cracker crumbs out of your carpet? Then the Munchie Mug might be your answer.
If you have snacking toddlers and preschoolers, you’re all going to love this clever dad’s invention — a spill resistant snack cup.
The snack cup has a soft opening that naturally stays closed at all times, until the child puts her hand in to take out a snack. It’s prefect for crackers, raisins, fruit or any other small food.
Jackson and Olivia both LOVE the Munchie Mug. Watch!
We have 4 Munchie Mugs to giveaway. If you’d like one, leave us a comment and let us know. We’ll draw four winners on Saturday, October 25th.

What a great idea. It seems like every night, while I’m cleaning goldfish crumbs off the floor, that I say, “No more eating in the family room!” Until the next day comes and I let them eat in there again!! This bag would be super since I can’t stick to my guns about not eating outside of the kitchen!!

We’ve bought so many different types of snack cups, looking for one that’ll work for us. While they all do an okay job, none seem to be toddler shake proof. If this one is, then it’s definitely the best snack cup out there.
