Lunch box for children, containers for snacks and school lunches

The lunch box or bento box is a food container designed and created specifically for carrying breakfast, lunch or a snack .

It is extremely convenient not only for us adults when we go to work, but also for children for a snack, a snack at school or a lunch break, during school trips for packed lunches, for weekend picnics or for the beach and during sports activities.

Children’s lunch boxes: which ones to buy?

There is a wide range of lunch boxes for children on the market.
They differ from those of adults only in style and shapes as, born to satisfy all children’s tastes, they are certainly more colourful, fun and captivating. For the rest, referring to the concept and design of the famous Japanese bento box,
they are equally safe and suitable for containing and storing the food of the little ones in a correct and orderly manner.

In fact, most of the lunchboxes for children are made of safe materials (plastic, metal, wood, bamboo) specifically designed to protect food from external agents (cold, heat, humidity). Furthermore, most modern lunch boxes come with separate containers that fit into their own slots inside the box itself. This idea of ​​separating foods into small containers helps little ones maintain portion control of food.
Many lunch boxes are also equipped with a set of cutlery and you can also find launch boxes equipped with a small carrying case.

In short, the assortment is not lacking and if you have already started looking for the most suitable lunch box for your child, you will have noticed that there is really an embarrassment of choice.

To help you in this task, I have selected some beautiful and practical children’s lunch boxes. In choosing, I let myself be guided not only by the style or the colours, but I looked for containers that could satisfy different needs.

Bring breakfast and a snack

Let’s start with the simplest and most classic but always useful container: the Sandwich holder. 
It is used as a breakfast box or snack box and fits comfortably in a briefcase. You can wash it in the dishwasher, put it in the microwave and in the freezer. Ideal for children who go to school, but also for adults.
