I use sippies as well for children who are not yet school-aged. I experimented with having regular kid-sized cups outside and the water was being purposely poured out or stuff (rocks, toys, etc) and hands were going into the cups of water making them undrinkable. Lasted two days until I called it quits and went back to sippies indoors and out.
