    31 days of school lunchbox ideas series

    With all the school lunchbox ideas we’ve been sharing this month, I thought it would be fun to share some great sandwich cutter deals with you!   I’ve been sharing lots of other ideas besides sandwiches, but let’s face it – sometimes they are just going to have sandwiches!  And, that’s ok!  Make it fun with different shapes and they won’t even care…

    Here are a few options…

    Lunchbox Packing Supplies

    And, don’t forget about packing the lunches too!  There are so many great lunchbox systems and with 4 boys, I’ve basically tried them all!  Here are my favorites (including a food thermos to keep lunch foods warm even when sending to school):

      I was just about to email and ask where to get some. All I have are rabbits, naturally. But as long as my kid is recognizing the fun in her food, I figure I should start taking advantage of all these ideas. Thanks so much.

        That’s funny Amanda! I’d say it’s time to go beyond rabbits and keep things fun! 😉

        These are the best deals for the different kinds of cutters that I could find!

      Thanks for pointing us to these great deals!

      I’m wondering if you know of somewhere local (I’m in the same city as you) I could find the small plastic, character food picks/skewers? Or even somewhere that carries a lot of Bento type items?

      In San Antonio, I have had luck getting bento style lunch carriers at a japanese grocery on hildebrand… sometimes the other asian groceries have them too… but it is hit or miss… but when they have them, they are super cute!

      Love these ideas for the lunch storage. Thanks so much. Just a tip I heard and have been using. If you use the lid off of your peanut butter jar as a cookie cutter it seals the bread and makes the sandwhiches identical to the freezer section PB&Js. Also for super cute thermal lunch boxes you can check out my website for the latest selection of thermals from Thirty-One Gifts.
