These stacking cups have an under the sea theme with different animal shapes around the rim. Your little one can use this toy in the bath as well as during playtime, making them multi-purpose and twice as fun.

This is a fun floor toy as the puppy is low to the ground and easy to move from a sitting or standing position.
