A spill-proof lid cooperates with a container to provide an easy and entertaining way for toddler-aged children to learn independent feeding without creating a mess as they learn. The spill-proof lid has a plurality of cantilevered flaps that are substantially triangular in shape and have free ends defined by the apecies of the flaps. The bases of the flaps are each connected to radially extending collar that forms an exterior trough for collecting crumbs, the exterior trough having openings through which the crumbs may drop back in to the container. The radially extending collar is attached by a frustoconical flange to a rim which couples with the mouth of the container, the frustoconical flange being spaced from the rim by a gap which defines an internal trough for minimizing the chance that crumbs from within the container will pass through the openings in the external trough when the container is tilted. Preferably, the flaps are concave with their apecies meeting at a recessed location in the top surface of the lid defined by the flaps.
