Stock up on different types of straws – looped, curled, flagged, thin, thick or any other variety you can get your hands on. Now whenever you give your kid a glass of milk to drink, just add a straw of his/her choice and watch the milk disappear in no time.

Another substitute for different types of straws is different types of cups. Kids love variety. Try to pick up cups that feature their favorite cartoon character, their favorite color or which reflect their personality in some way or the other. Don’t keep all the different cups in the kitchen at the same time. Give them a choice between two cups and recycle these every week. So, if you have four cups, use two cups on alternate weeks. This will ensure that you do not end up stacking your kitchen only with cups!

Just like ice cubes, you can even make milk cubes. Collect some fun-shaped molds to make these cubes. Boil the milk with a little sugar in it and let it cool. Now, ask the kids to help you pour milk into these molds and then freeze them. Once frozen, the kids can pop these milk cubes on the go. Involving kids in the process of making their own milk will make them more willing to try the results of their experiment.

If the kids leave before you are able to involve them in making their milk, don’t fret. Just partially freeze a sweetened glass of milk for later use. Once they come in, blend the milk to make a yummy glass of milk slush. Alternatively, pour a glass of milk with six ice cubes in a blender and make milk slush. Serve the milk slush in a different cup. Hand them a spoon and see them finish the milk in a jiffy.
