First lunchbox steps

1. Choose the right containers: Select small, leak-proof stainless steel containers that fit comfortably inside the lunch bag. Avoid glass to prevent breakage. Check that the containers fit without squishing the bag's shape.
2. Pack a balanced, toddler-friendly meal: Include a mix of protein, whole grains, fruits, and veggies. Cut foods into small, manageable pieces. Use the bag's space to separate items. Involve your toddler in choosing one item to encourage eating.
3. Keep it cool and fresh: Add a small ice pack if you're packing perishable items. Place the ice pack at the bottom or side to maintain a safe temperature. Remind your toddler to keep the bag closed when not eating.
4. Teach your toddler to carry and open it: Show them how to use the small hole on top to hold the bag by hand or around the wrist. Practice opening and closing the bag together. Make it a game to build confidence.
5. Clean the bag properly: Spot clean the natural cotton bag with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing to preserve the fabric and shape. Air dry completely before storing.
