This past school year, 3 of my little ones needed packed lunches for their school days! When I heard about the convenience of bento-style lunch boxes from my friends, I knew I had to start packing lunches this way too. Soon, I saw the famous b. Box Lunch Box and fell in love with how functional it is (along with being cute)!
I know the importance of having organized lunches and snacks for outings and school days and I couldn’t give b.box higher praise for creating products that make packing a balanced lunch easy.
3 Reasons I Love b.box Lunchbox
Innovative and Super Cool Design
The b. lunch box is known for its innovative design and functionality for babies and toddlers. First of all, it has two dimensions; the mini lunchbox and the lunchbox. They are almost identical apart from almost holding different amounts of food. The mini has 3 compartments and the full lunchbox has 5 (4 if you remove the divider to make a long compartment on one side).
The mini is perfect for the smaller backpacks that preschoolers usually have. I love the compact design and the vibrant colors to choose from for your child. In my household, everyone is VERY happy that they got their favorite color! Remember, colors change from time to time so be sure to buy a full set off the bat if you want your items to match.
Now for what really makes the b.box lunch box stand out in my eyes; on one side of the lunchbox there are leakproof compartments. This means you can pack things like yogurt or hummus directly into the lunchbox without worrying about any leaks!
One of these silicone compartments is elastic enough that you can fit an entire piece of fruit. I love the convenience of not having to cut fruit to fit it and how it encourages me to pack more delicious fruit for my kids.
If you want to know the materials used, the lunch box is made of food-grade, BPA-free plastic, ensuring that it is safe for food storage. Note, it is not meant to be put in the dishwasher but is quite easy to wash by hand.
Built to Encourage Freedom
Of course, part of the innovative design also involves making sure the lunchboxes are easy for little ones to use. Allowing a child to use their own lunch box promotes independence and self-reliance. This gives them a sense of ownership and responsibility over their meals.
The b.box lunch box is designed with a large easy-to-grip clip that makes it possible for children to open and close it without help.
Besides being able to use the lunchbox independently, learning to pack and unpack their own lunchbox builds confidence and builds important life skills. When children have control over their lunchboxes, they are more likely to eat the food packed inside. By involving them in the process of choosing and packing their food, they can develop a sense of ownership and become more committed to making healthy choices. This can lead to better eating habits and a greater willingness to try new foods.
Using the lunch box independently also teaches children organizational skills. They learn to plan and pack their meals efficiently, making sure they have everything they need for the day.
Useful Accessories
There are additional b.box accessories such as utensils, a removable divider, and a handy sandwich tray that can be purchased to customize your lunchbox. These accessories provide additional convenience and organizational options when packing your child’s meals.
The mini travel fork and spoon is super cute and made specifically for your child to spear their fruit or sushi and scoop up yogurt or hummus.
They also make silicone lunch pouches that are the perfect size for sandwiches and several different types of ice packs. As for drinks, there are bottles of water in coordinating colors in the lunchboxes.
The b.box lunch box is practical, leak-proof, and cute. They’re the perfect starter lunch for your child as you enter new territory whether it’s preschool or kindergarten. All you need now is to scroll through bento box lunch ideas for kids on TikTok and you’ll be all set!
