what Bianca will be using - Bento box and lunch bag

What Bianca will be using when she starts school!

Hey guys!, so this is what i decided on getting for Bianca for school, she starts kindergarten in september and she is pretty excited about it!, first off i would like to send you over to my youtube if you would like to see a video of me showing these products in greater detail, the link is as follows https://youtu.be/t6hCj51FueI

I got this Lunch box from well.ca and its from crocodile creek, it fits the monbento box perfectly and has a ice pack storage compartment on the bottom with a mesh pocket in the back for notes and or napkins!

ths great thing about this lunch bag is it seems like its pre tty safe, pvc free. phthalate free and lead free lining! it feels very nice and good quality in your hands as well

on to the monbento box, im not going to provide stats as i cover that in the video but it feels very good quality and is very easy to use for my 4 year old, it takes a few practice tries first but she got it down in no time, all the lids and container are easy to open so we dont have to worry about our little ones having hard time retrieving their lunches and having to ask for help at lunch time.

the centre portion has a rubber gasket to help lock in the freshness as well

Top picture can be switched out for another selection if you have a few of the same color and you can easily differentiate between then






the containers have a nice clear lid and is very easy to open








hope this was helpful especially my youtube video if you are trying to decide if this is the right box for you!
here is where you can purchase it
