The 'Bottapals' are a series of plush toy accessories for placement onto baby bottles or sippy cups that would work to keep children entertained during mealtimes, snacks and throughout the day. The plush toy-style bottle add-ons come in elephant and rabbit styles, and are paired with an elastic band that allows for easy placement onto drinking vessels of all kinds. The toys could also help with hand-eye coordination thanks by enabling children to interact with them during feedings or as they drink.
The 'Bottapals' are suited for children aged two weeks and older, and help to integrate a fun touch onto an otherwise ordinary product to keep it interesting for young ones. The accessories also help to add a touch of companionship to further soothe little ones.
