School lunches

[Wonderwiper]

Mine are sort of like these but with another medium size spot.

Might be a good option to test out without having to pay a fortune!

We started off using rubbermaid containers. Honestly, I found them to be a pain. It was also hard to make them all fit into the backpack and we lost more of those than I can count. Not to mention the ones that break.

My kids have the planetbox. These are super awesome and will last for a long time. They come with a zippered bag with handle so your child can easily carry them. And they are slim enough to fit in the backpack. No little pieces to lose, everything gets packed away at the end of lunch. Easy to clean, dries quickly. Lots of different compartments to take different foods, snacks, etc. Ours are going on 4 years and still ticking.

Our kids eat in their classrooms, so less chance of things getting lost. Label, label, label I do this for all their things. I got some stick on labels from mabels labels and use them on everything they take.

they are pricier but they will last. If you can find a few moms close by who want them, you can save on shipping, too.
