9 Best Lunch Boxes And Kits To Get Them Excited For School
The same old sandwich box can get a little ho-hum when you have to look at it day in and day out—that goes for you, and your kid.
To make sure that your kid looks forward to lunch each and every single day, and to make packing lunches a little more bearable for yourself, start the school year off with bright and colourful lunch kits and bags that are as functional as they are cute.
Bon appetit!

If your kid won’t eat a sandwich (what’s up with that, kid?) then a Bento is the way to go. Offering up a selection of tasty nibbles is one of the best ways to ensure they eat something while at school. This Bento’s claim to fame is that it keeps every compartment absolutely separate, so no crumbs get on your fruit salad and no pasta sauce gets on your crackers.

This genius Bento-style box has two large rectangular compartments and four smaller square compartments, but it all packs up into one very compact and sturdy little box. We love that unlike some Bento boxes, you don’t need a degree in engineering to figure out how everything fits together, and the construction is sturdy. So if your kiddo sends their backpack flying down the slide, their lunch and lunchbox will make it down in one piece.
