Delivery cups may be provided to facilitate preparation of medication doses and may include color bands extending about at least a portion of an exterior of each delivery cup. Each color band may correspond to a predetermined volumetric measurement or dosage of medication. Each delivery cup may provide a height that may be proportional to at least one of a maximum volume and a maximum volumetric measurement. Further, each delivery cup may provide one or more additional color bands that may represent volumetric measurements that may be less than that associated with the first color band. Each delivery cup may further provide a portion of the delivery cup that may be provided to fit inside of a medicine bottle and may be provided to a seal an opening of the medicine bottle. Each delivery cup may also provide a handle for dispensing fluid from the delivery cup.
