Lunch Packing Ideas for Back to School
It's that time of year for the anticipation and nerves, fresh supplies and big goals of the back-to-school season. If you're like many parents, you start the school year with the best intentions of packing...
Reviewing the Best Lunch Containers for Kids
If you're looking for the best lunch containers for kids, chances are last year's school lunch containers didn't make the grade.
There are 180 days in the average school year, and if your child takes a packed lunch to school every day, you may already be familiar with this recipe:
- Take lunch containers for kids that smash food, leak or break.
- Mix in children's tendencies for specific, limited and ever-changing food preferences.
- Sprinkle in a few well-intended suggestions from people who don't understand you (turn on the stove…in the morning?) or your kids (pack egg salad for my easily embarrassed child to open hours later around classmates?).
…and voilá! The job of packing lunches is served.
Enter PackIt's lunch containers for kids. No, they can't turn your children into adventurous eaters or prevent no-way, no-how menu recommendations, but the right kids' lunch containers can keep foods tastier and make your job easier.
We're reviewing the best kids' lunch containers for school – hassle-free, kid-friendly food storage containers that keep food separate and intact (read: more likely to be eaten). Made with high-quality materials that can stand up to an entire school year of daily use, they may just earn a seat at the lunch table.
PackIt Bento Lunch Containers for Kids
Bento boxes get straight A's as the best lunch containers for kids because they are sturdy and reusable, but not all kids' bento boxes are created equal. Common gripes include flimsy materials that stain and crack, hard-to-clean surfaces and tight compartments that result in smooshed food. We've also heard packing a fixed-compartment bento box described as a cross between Operation and Tetris, an early-morning test of motor and spatial skills, without the amusement of a game.
For school lunch containers that are in a class of their own, check out PackIt's line of customizable bento containers.
With PackIt's customizable bento containers with removable dividers, your child's lunch container fits your child's lunch, not the other way around. Flexible lunch containers with dividers for kids save time and food, helping to make busy mornings and school lunchtimes go more smoothly.
