Regardless of the time of year, the pitter-patter of tiny – and sometimes not-so-tiny – feet fill the corridors in anticipation of that favourite time of day – break time! As parents, our responsibility is to supply our children with enough sustenance to keep them mentally and physically prepared for their school day; and one of the principal ways of doing so is by filling the trusty, age-old lunch box with nutritious sandwiches and other tasty titbits.
A good lunch box is not just about toting healthy midday meals, it is about keeping food fresh, preventing spills and maybe even sparking a smile during your child’s break from academics. However, with so many options available, choosing the right one can be confusing. Contour Houseware equips you with options that you previously might not have considered.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Lunch Box
- Age and Appetite – A kindergartener or earlier grade pupil will need a smaller, more manageable plastic lunch box than those in more senior grades who often take part in extramural activities after normal school hours.
- Food Preferences – Does your child prefer hot lunches and left-over meals, or do they opt for a cold midday meal? Does their lunch involve messy curry and rice or neatly cut sandwiches?
- Durability and Insulation – Opt for leak-proof, easy-to-clean plastic materials for your child’s back-to-school lunch that can withstand the occasional drop or playground tumble. Insulation might also be key for keeping food at the optimal temperature, so always include a tea towel or similar to keep food warm.
- Style and Personality – Cool designs and fun lid covers go a long way in making lunchtime more enjoyable, so select a colour lid that matches your child’s personality or have them decorate the lunch box with some funky stickers.
