If you've been wondering about our bodacious lunchboxes seen in my previous post, I'm here to tell you all about them. Perhaps you too have had difficulty finding a SAFE way to send lunch for your kiddos, what with all the scary plastic chemicals that leach and off-gas on and around your food. Yuck! Well, after much searching and REsearching last year, I finally ended up with what I think just may be the best lunchbox ever: the
PlanetBox.
There are three styles. We have the
PlanetBox Rover, because my children like a little bit of everything in their lunch meal. This Bento box style is right up their alley. (See how they love Muffin Tin Meals
here and
here and
here.) The Rover has several dividers, like a real lunch tray, which gives me
more options for sending a variety of food...withOUT having to send
fourteen little plastic baggies per child! I love that they can be
personalized with cool magnet sets that go on the outside of the tray. I
love the durable carrying bags, which come in several colors.
AND I love that
the trays can go right in the dishwasher!! No fuss.
Now, they are NOT cheap. Especially when you are buying for multiple children.
:ahem: However, they are durable and will last much, much longer than the boxes you might buy at Wal-Mart. I fully intend to see my grandchildren toting these suckers around one day. Your child won't grow out of them, either. These are easily sophisticated enough to be carried by adults! Which means I guess I'm going to have to stop carrying my metal
Strawberry Shortcake box with the ruby red handle and the matching thermos...(dates me, doesn't it?)
