We have these exact jars but they were my mother-in-law's 20-yr-old jelly jars. I looked and looked for more of them because they are so perfect for toddlers, but couldn't find any more. MIL finally gave in and gave me hers, but I'm thrilled to find the jars are still being made. I've only looked in the jelly section, it never occurred to me to look at other spreads.

The quilted pattern on the glass is handy for its grippy factor and the threads for the lid don't seem to bother him at all. My mom had made some jellies and gave them to us, and so the jars were free to us -- bonus! And as far as I can tell, the manufacturer for canning jars isn't part of a big congolmerate like Kraft, which is heavily invested in tobacco.

Thank you for the suggestion!!<br /> One question: Does anyone make a "slip cover" for the glasses? Kinda like a rubbery "can cozy" to keep the glasses from slipping out of my childrens' hands? Hmmm, or a non slip glass cover that HAS HANDLES attached!!??</p> GREAT IDEA!! Thank you for the suggestion!!

I have never even heard of it. I am debating switching away from the tupperware-like cups my kids drink from and I appreciate your suggestion! I just ordered a Klean Kanteen for my son starting K and I hope I like the sports top because then I'll buy a few more.</p> Did you eat the pimento spread and was it good?

I DID happen to find perfect size glasses for the toddlers in our family - at IKEA. They were about 2 or 3 dollars for 6 thick glasses and VERY durable. None have broken yet and our "toddlers" aren't even toddlers any more!!!</p> great idea! I DID happen to find perfect size glasses for the toddlers in our family – at IKEA.

We buy them in the smallest size and they sometimes have little cartoon characters on them. So its like getting a glass free since I bought it for the Jelly anyways.</p> We use fruit preserve jars.
