[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After 3 kids, and lots of money spent, I have perfected my lunches for the kids.

I use the 3 compartment ziplock containers but they are discontinued now.  Once they run out (they each last a few months) then I will go to the other one on this page below. The zip locks are 100% leak proof.  I have used yogurt, cottage cheese, fruits, applesauce, etc... and they do not leak in-between the other compartments.

I use that and a thermos Funtainer bottle for a drink.

and they both fit inside a Lands End lunchbox that is machine washable.

I also use Thermos Funtainer Food Jars for soups, reheated dinners like mac n cheese, spaghetti, casseroles ect...  When I use that, I usually add a small rubbermaid container with fruit and the thermos bottle for a drink.

The key for young kids is that they should only have to open one item.  Don't mess with lots of containers or drink boxes.  Don't add a bunch of food.  They have 20 minutes tops to eat and that is with talking to all of their friends.  I do one major item, one fruit, one other item.  All healthy but things they will eat.

[b]My one rule is to NEVER throw anything away.  I even want to see crusts.  It isn't to get mad at them.  It is know that they are truly eating, if I am under packing, over packing, etc... It works.[/b] [/quote]
