Save Our Planet, One Sandwich At A Time
Back to school for the majority of parents means back to packing daily lunches for your mini-me. Besides the struggle over what to fill the lunch bag with food-wise, there is also the concern of what that lunch bag is made of.
With the uproars that have happened over high levels of BPA and lead being discovered in our children's lunch bags and backpacks, parents are turning to alternatives to the traditional cheap megastore plastic lunch totes.
To aid you in your quest this fall, I have compiled a list of the safest and most useful lunch kits to be found out there.
Laptop Lunches hit the top of my list, not only for the safe plastic they are constructed out of but because they are completely waste free.The four containers inside can be filled with different foods that won't touch each other -any parent with a picky eater will whoop for joy over this feature-and your creativity knows no bounds thanks to endless websites helping you discover the world of Bento Boxes. The best part is that the four containers do not have to be removed for the child to eat, they simply open the lid and chow down.The basic yet attractive design of the accompanying case also means you can and will get years of use, compared to the child who loves McQueen one year, then Bolt the next.These are not limited to children's use, adults also use them for their workday lunches.
Crocodile Creek makes adorable lunchboxes that are PVC, Phthalate, BPA and Vinyl free. The accompanying backpacks and water bottles will thrill matchy-matchy parents and children alike and the designs are bright, bold and unique. The only problem is that you still have to find your own containers or plastic bags to use within the lunchbox. They are of superior quality, my two children have these as well as the Laptop Lunches and they can definitely take a lickin' and keep on tickin'.
