Point of view: you want to make sure your kids stay hydrated as they head back to school — or even for their last weeks of summer camp. But you’d love it if most of the water ended up down the hatch and not dousing everything inside their backpacks. That tablet was expensive! The solution? A foolproof, leak-proof reusable water bottle like the new Owala Kids’ Free Sip Stainless Steel Water Bottle that is now available in six vibrant, long-awaited, Target-exclusive colors that remind us of candy, sorbet, the tropics and more.

The Owala Kids’ Free Sip Stainless Steel Water Bottle is a 16-ounce wonder, just big enough to ensure kids of all ages are getting their daily intake of H2O but small enough to nestle nicely into their backpacks. The lid is where the magic lives. Kids can push it down to open it, then snap it shut so it won’t leak: a handy carrying loop doubles as a lock — and makes it so that the bottle can also clip onto their backpacks instead of going inside. It’s as simple as that. But the fun doesn’t end there.

The Owala Kids’ Free Sip Stainless Steel Water Bottle is making a splash in six fun colorways you’ll only find at Target. We’re not ones to play favorites, but the Tropical colorway with its juicy orange bottle and bubblegum pink cap really transports us. This Owala Free Sip bottle goes hand in hand with your kid’s fun style. But it also keeps them healthy and energized all day long.

Kids are free to use their Free Sip bottle in one of two ways. If they’re parched during a sporting event, they tilt their heads back and take a big swig, chug-a-lug-style. Or, if they prefer to sip during a leisurely bus ride, they use the Owala Free Sip built-in straw, which retracts back into the bottle for hygienic peace of mind. The Owala bottle above is in the color Blue Machine, and it has a kind of power over us!

This beautiful bottle is, of course, BPA- and phthalate-free (we wouldn’t have it any other way). And boy, will it keep their water or electrolyte drinks icy cold! Thanks to the double-wall insulation, you can guarantee a solid 24 hours of cold beverages, which will only ensure that your kids are constantly reaching for this sweet relief and staying hydrated all day long while you’re not around to hound them about it! The Owala Free Sip in Yoga Rose has us tickled pink.

The eye candy-like Lilac Purple, accented with peach and lime green, is beauty in a bottle. When it’s time to pick up your kids for the day, you’ll love that the Owala Kids’ Free Sip bottle has a cup-holder friendly base. So you can get into the habit of popping their reusable water bottle right next to yours in the car (a good way to make sure they didn’t leave it behind).

The Owala Free Sip also comes in Sleek, a cool white color with gray and black accents, and finally, an all-black bottle called Very Dark that’ll go the distance and won’t show scuffs or dirt. They’re all easy to clean anyway: just rinse out the cup by hand and pop the lid, with all its germ-trapping crevices, right into the dishwasher.

While the Kids’ FreeSip is the new kid on the block, Owala has built a steady reputation on the quality of its insulated water bottles. Perhaps you recognized the original Owala Free Sip bottle, a 24-ounce best-seller with more than 8,500 five-star reviews at Target. These little kid-sized gems are just joining the ranks and are soon-to-be MVPs of the hydration lifestyle. Get your kids in on the game and set them up to slay all season long.
