Two shiny, non-toxic Ahimsa Starter Sips Cups made of stainless steel sit side by side on a white surface. Their smooth finish and slightly flared rims make these identical cups ideal as toddler starter cups. Text graphic reads: The Unplastic Shop. Curated by the Oceanic Preservation Society — the production team behind The Plastic Detox, now streaming worldwide — to reduce plastic exposure where it matters most. The Ahimsa Starter Sips Cups are small, non-toxic 4 oz. cups with size details and infant-friendly benefits; they're not a milestone but can be introduced for toddlers as early as 6 months instead of sippy cups. A young child with dark hair, in a gray shirt, sits in a high chair sipping from an Ahimsa Starter Sips Cup. In front of them on the table are a metal bowl with food and a spoon. A child in a gray sweater sits at a white table, reaching for an Ahimsa Starter Sips Cup. Text reads: Pediatricians recommend stainless steel—it's the only kid-friendly material endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
