BOTTLE TEACHES KIDS TO
DRINK MORE WATER
Many kids may not be
drinking the right amount of
water everyday, so a company
created an interactive water
bottle which teaches kids to
drink water and let them have
fun at the same time. The
Gululu Interactive Bottle isn’t
your ordinary water bottle, it
has a screen, a home button,
touch sensors, WiFi and
wireless charging. Its main
purpose is to track how much
water is being drank.

will track their progress on
the bottle’s screen in different
fun ways. There is a map that
reached toward a goal as your
child drinks more. They will
also have a cute digital pet
which evolves as your child
meets their goals. With this fun
technology, the company hopes
to be able to motivate kids to
drink more water.
With the help of the Gululu
app, parents will be able to
check on their child’s progress.
The app sets the hydration goals
based on the child’s weight, age,
and location. Accompanying
its eye-catching designs and
interactive platform, this bottle
can also be charged wirelessly.
