Lunchbox Ideas

We were lucky enough to receive a yumbox from Eatwell UK, and I must admit, I am impressed! The lunch box has drastically improved how much India eats which is always a bonus!

I’ve always struggled with making lunches for my little girl as she is a grazer and likes to pick at foods. She will eat anything, just not a lot of it, so these yumboxes are perfect and make lunch times fun!

The Yumbox is available in a range of colours and two designs, (the Classic and the Panino) It is designed to be nutritionally balanced, to help with portion control. It is also leak-proof, which is always a bonus!

So lets make lunch time fun, especially if you include love notes, (positive notes and fun trivia and jokes for your child’s lunchbox, backpack, binder, or pillow)

  These really are a fun and easy way to remind the special little people in your life just how loved they are!

Now if your child is like mine, and HATES crusts.. and ends up leaving a majority of the sandwich claiming “its part of the crust” then these cutters will be ideal for you! These fabulous cutters have been designed especially for sandwiches.  They minimise waster and come beautifully packaged for the special little person in your life.  Lunch just got a whole lot more fun!

So here are some examples for lunch time in these amazing Yumboxes.
