Exciting crowd sourcing opportunity! Lids for disposable cups for child's party

DC4 is about to have his third birthday party. Being a bit organised, like, I ordered some paper plates and cups and so on all with a circus theme some time ago, and they do indeed look lovely. However it has occurred to me that the kids will spill juice everywhere, so I need cup lids of the types that can have straws poked in the middle. Sadly most party suppliers only stock lids suitable for 8oz cups, and these are a mere 6oz (180ml) so they will be too small. Can anyone help me hunt some down? I need 20.

Well I can't find any and I think it's because they're so small and paper cups with lids tend to be for hot drinks...or for very large cold drinks. I also think you're overthinking it....of course they will spill juice...just try to confine them to the table with drinks and don't allow wanderings.

They don't ALL spill though....if you've 20 kids you'll have one or two spills.

.... and only half fill them each time, so spills cause less 'damage'

OK, I am thinking if I give them light coloured drinks and little straws this will help as well.

I am wondering if lids for 4oz espresso cups might fit? I saw some of those somewhere.
