Cheap, kid friendly, and efficient lunch box items were on our list of things to discover when the kids started school. After trying a few different options, we want to share our favorite storage containers, ice packs, and cups for kids. These are things we use almost daily that won’t break the bank. Some criteria we were looking for included reusable, dishwasher safe, leak proof, and low cost. Thus far, the following items have been nothing but excellent choices. Be sure your younger kiddos know how to open all containers without assistance and that they understand to not throw them away.
Love this 3 compartment bento style container. They have easy in the name and for good reason. A sandwich, chips, and fruit easily fit, still leaving room for another small container or individually wrapped snack on the side in an average sized lunch box. Dishwasher safe, assorted color/count options. Set of four is $15.
The Easy Lunch Box brand also makes this 4 compartment snack container that is perfect for a “homemade” lunchable. It leaves plenty of room for an extra side item. Dishwasher safe, assorted color/count options available. Set of four is $12.
These are small and perfect for an extra snack or a dip. Bigger than a condiment container, but small enough to fit next to a bento container in a standard size lunch box. Dishwasher safe, cut colors, set of 5 for $10.
These reusable, dishwasher safe silicone bags are perfect for extra snacks or storing food in a small lunchbox. No more running out of plastic ziploc bags. This is a 10 count of assorted sizes for $9.
These cups are amazing. Technically they do not go in the lunch box, but it goes to lunch with them. No straw and dishwasher safe with an autoseal lid. Set of 2 for $13.
