Quick answer
Attach a Little Dipper to the edge of any Bumkins silicone dishware or most edged plates and bowls, then fill with dip or small snacks for a portable, mess-free option.
Why Little Dippers work for travel
The silicone construction is lightweight and flexible, so it won't add bulk to your diaper bag or lunch box. Each Little Dipper has a built-in clip that hooks securely onto the rim of a plate or bowl, keeping the cup in place even when the bag gets jostled. This design makes them ideal for restaurants, picnics, or car trips where you want to offer dips or small sides without spills.
Choosing the right set for your needs
The Lollipop set comes in pink and purple shapes that appeal to kids who enjoy colorful presentation. The Gumdrop set offers blue and sage tones, while the Taffy set features a marble, sage, and grey palette. All three are made from food-grade silicone, so they are safe for both hot and cold foods and easy to clean. The main difference is the color and shape—pick the one that matches your child's preference or your bag's aesthetic.
How to use Little Dippers for on-the-go snacks
- 1. Attach the Little Dipper to a plate or bowl: Press the clip on the back of the Little Dipper firmly onto the edge of a Bumkins silicone dish or any edged plate or bowl. Make sure the clip is fully seated so the cup won't slide off during transport. Test the grip by gently tugging the cup before adding food.
- 2. Fill the cup with dip or small snacks: Spoon in ketchup, yogurt, hummus, or small items like berries or cereal. Avoid overfilling—leave a little space at the top so the contents don't spill when the cup is jostled. For runny dips, fill only halfway to minimize splashes.
- 3. Secure the plate in a lunch bag or container: Place the plate with the attached Little Dipper inside a lunch bag or a shallow container that fits snugly. If using a lunch box, position the plate so the cup faces upward and isn't pressed against the lid or other items. A bento-style container with a lid can keep everything in place during travel.
- 4. Serve and supervise: When you're ready to eat, set the plate in front of your child. The Little Dipper stays attached, so your child can dip without the cup sliding away. Always supervise young children during mealtime, especially with small parts. Remove the cup after eating and rinse it right away to prevent residue from drying.
