A lids for a child's drinking cup has a projection extending integrally from an underside of the lid, the projection defining, in an upper surface of the li d body, a straw receptacle. The projection defines a plurality of break lines, such as slits , terminating at break line ends and defining separable segments of the projection. The break line ends are spaced from the base of the projection in a region of the straw receptacle having a cross-section approximately equal in extent to a cross-section of a corresponding drinking straw, such that inserting the straw into the straw receptacle and through the projection forces the projection segments apart, the segment bases engaging an outer surface of th e inserted straw to inhibit leakage. Some of the projections include molded stiffening ribs.< /SDOAB>
