The Gruffalo and Zog water bottles make hydration magical for kids

As parents, we know how important it is to keep our kids healthy and hydrated, without harming the planet they’ll inherit. Our mission is simple: reduce plastic waste and make sustainable living easy for families everywhere.

Sustainability doesn’t have to mean compromising on style, practicality or even experiencing “FOMO” created around hyped-up trending products. Which is why Botl is so excited to announce the introduction of The Gruffalo and Zog water bottle range.

The Gruffalo and Zog Water Bottle Range

Meet Botl’s The Gruffalo & Zog water bottles

We know that kids love characters that spark their imagination. That’s why we’ve partnered with Magic Light Pictures, the licensors behind The Gruffalo and Zog by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, to create bottles that make hydration safe and fun.

We’ve picked some of the most popular scenes and characters from the beloved stories to feature on our bottle designs.

From The Gruffalo, this includes The Gruffalo himself, Mouse, Owl, Fox and Snake.

From Zog, we have Zog and his dragon classmates, Madam Dragon, Princess Pearl, Sir Gadabout and the castle.

Botl is the only official licensee for The Gruffalo and Zog stainless steel insulated water bottles.

The Gruffalo and Zog water bottles feature:

  • Durable and leak-proof for everyday use or outdoor adventures.
  • Sized for little hands and include a handle, making them easy to carry.
  • Safe and sustainable, so parents can feel confident.
  • Soft-touch silicon base to protect the bottle and your furniture.
  • Two-way caps – sip through the straw or remove the straw to tip and guzzle.
  • Insulated to keep your kid’s drinks cold or warm.

Constantly nagging your children to drink more water? Their favourite character might just turn hydration into a fun habit.

Tired of cleaning up spilled liquids? Securing drinks in a leak-proof bottle will save your car, furniture, clothing and more.

Your new The Gruffalo or Zog bottle is the perfect kiddie companion, suitable for school, packed lunch, playdates, travel, and family outings.

About Botl and our Founder

Our story began in 2006 by Heather, a first-time mum and industrial chemist who was on a mission to find a healthy and eco-friendly bottle for her son.

Her profession emphasised that single-use plastic bottles can release harmful chemicals into drinks. And worryingly, that most reusable plastic options were not much better!

Her search led her to 304-grade stainless steel, the safest material for storing beverages. What began as a personal mission soon became a larger movement. This movement aims to give families, friends, and businesses a non-toxic, eco-friendly option to single-use plastic.

We’ve made big strides since 2006, including becoming B Corp and being chosen as the ongoing official supplier to Team GB in the Olympics and Paralympics.

Today, we’re proud to take another step forward with the launch of The Gruffalo and Zog water bottles, designed especially for little adventurers.

Botl’s commitment to sustainability

Our bottles are designed by a parent – meaning we actually know what parents look for in a bottle and what a child enjoys. Your bottle will be in your family for years to come!

We go above and beyond the industry standards when it comes to our testing and certification – keeping both the planet and your kids in mind. This includes achieving child safety tests, BPA/BPS free, FDA-approved.

You can find out more about all our credentials in our Responsible Supply Guide.

By choosing reusable bottles, you’re helping to keep thousands of single-use plastics out of landfills and oceans. It’s a small change with a big impact.
