Kids Water Bottle

I’ll be honest, our water bottles typically don’t make it past 2 years – either they are lost or beat to death. These, however are super sturdy, come in multiple colors and PRAISE JESUS don’t have straws! I’m hoping they will stand the test of time with toddlers + some crazy kiddos!
