I have been looking ‘everywhere’ for a child’s unbreakabke eggcup - no luck - they don’t seem to exist. Anyone know differently?’
Although I am called Granless, I am now a Grandma. Little granddaughter is now 20 months’ old and took many years to arrive 🥰.

I know exactly what you mean. I am a boiled egg for breakfast person and always have been. The only eggcups Ive found to be best were those wooden ones that we used to buy in a string of 4/5/6. Metal ones are too hot to manage with the newly boiled egg. Pottery ,too easily broken. I too would like info on what to choose next as my current one (80's maybe) is split.

Loads of unbreakable melamine egg cups out there. Sophie Allsopp has some nice designs for children and Tesco’s stock one that looks like an egg.

I remember as a child having a plastic one in the shape of a tortoise. It was lemon and the egg cup was its back. Very politically incorrect there was a little black boy figure sat on the neck riding it.

Try Sophie Allport, this one is in a set, but it’s a good price for what you get. There are other designs too.
