The “Snack-Trap” consists of a attractive, colorfully imprinted, tip-resistant, handled cup that allows kids to grasp and hold the cup themselves. The unique, patent-pending lid has slits that allow kids to see and retrieve food with ease themselves. The lid automatically closes when the children remove their hand. The product allows kids to feed themselves while helping to prevent spills when the cup is knocked, dropped, or thrown (as a result of a temper or just for fun). Another major convenience is that the device is portable and useful in the home, outdoors, or in the car, matching the active lifestyle of most families.
