Point of view: you want to make sure your kids stay hydrated as they head off to day camp, sleepaway camp, space camp, what have you. But you’d love it if most of the water ended up down the hatch and not dousing everything inside their backpacks. That tablet was expensive! The solution? A foolproof, leak-proof reusable water bottle like the new Owala Kids’ Free Sip Stainless Steel Water Bottle, which locks shut to prevent spillage and comes in three vibrant, Target-exclusive colors.

The Owala Kids’ Free Sip Stainless Steel Water Bottle is a 16-ounce wonder, just big enough to ensure kids of all ages are getting their daily intake of H2O but small enough to nestle nicely into their backpacks. The lid is where the magic lives. Kids can push it down to open it, then snap it shut so it won’t leak: a handy carrying loop doubles as a lock — and makes it so that the bottle can also clip onto their backpacks instead of going inside. It’s as simple as that. But the fun doesn’t end there.

Our mission at SheKnows is to empower and inspire women, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do.

Kids are free to use their Free Sip bottle in one of two ways. If they’re parched during a sporting event, they tilt their heads back and take a big swig, chug-a-lug-style. Or, if they prefer to sip during a leisurely bus ride, they use the Owala Free Sip built-in straw, which retracts back into the bottle for hygienic peace of mind. 

The Owala Kids’ Free Sip Stainless Steel Water Bottle is making a splash in three fun colorways you’ll only find at Target. One is the eye candy-like Lilac Purple, accented with peach and lime green. Then you have a cool white color with gray and black accents, and finally, an all-black bottle that’ll go the distance and won’t show scuffs or dirt. They’re all easy to clean anyway: just rinse out the cup by hand and pop the lid, with all its germ-trapping crevices, right into the dishwasher.

This beautiful bottle is, of course, BPA- and phthalate-free (we wouldn’t have it any other way). And boy, will it keep their water or electrolyte drinks icy cold! Thanks to the double-wall insulation, you can guarantee a solid 24 hours of cold beverages, which will only ensure that your kids are constantly reaching for this sweet relief and staying hydrated all day long while you’re not around to hound them about it!
