School Lunch Gear Guide

As we scroll and click at our computers ordering school supplies, lunch prep returns as central to our mission. Once we cover lunch and rain boots (LL Bean Puddle Stompers), we’re set. Here’s our guide to lunch basics:

1. Our Eco-Friendly School Gear list includes lunch bags, food containers, and some other good tips to remember for a child’s school cubby.

2. This year’s addition to the Eco-Friendly School Gear are stainless steel food containers. We’re using the Kids Konserve Nesting Trio with soft tops and LunchBots Containers, which fit larger items and have stainless lids.

3. The Kids Konserve lunch kits offer one stop shopping and a great school fundraiser idea for September. They also raise parents’ awareness about packing lunches with reusable containers.

4. After trying a variety of water bottles, we find the 10 ounce Ecousable water bottle the perfect size and easy for kids to open and drink.

5. For delicious and nutritious foods to put inside all these containers, check out our School Lunch Ideas.
