Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Or is it lunch? When it comes to the kids, every meal is important. Once kids are at school, it’s almost impossible to oversee lunchtime and make sure our kids are getting the most out of their mid-day meal. “Will she eat the fruits AND the vegetables?” “Does my son just trade with someone for something more fun (and less healthy!)?” “Is the brown bag boring?” Our daughter isn’t school aged yet, but these are the questions that keep me up at night.
Here are thirty awesome, useful, and all-around-cool products to build the ultimate lunch box and make lunchtime cool again.
