Preparing for Kindergarten and Pre-School
Make Lunchtime Easy, Fun, and Nutritious for Your Little One!
Starting kindergarten is an exciting journey, and we’re here to help take the guess work out with our curated back-to-school essentials. At Creative Kids Lab, we understand that every detail counts, especially when it comes to lunchtime! Our range of kindergarten lunchboxes, drink bottles, and accessories are designed to keep meals fresh, convenient, and fun—all while making sure parents have peace of mind.
The options and pressure o get this right first time can be overwhelming as there is so much out there. The good news is that anything really works, whats important is to send your little one off to Kindergarten with healthy, well balanced and engaging foods that will not continuously find its way back home. There are 3 main time slots for a chance to snack or eat at Kindergarten or Pre-School:
1. Crunch & Sip
Normally occurs within the 1st hour of school and is designed to just be a small quick snack and a drink of water which may be a piece of fruit or a serving of yogurt. Our range of b.box snackboxes, Yumbox Snack, MontiiCo Bento 2 are ideal for this purpose.
2. Recess
Normally occurs around 11am and is designed to be a bit more of a substantial meal than Crunch and Sip, with some good proteins, carbs and fibre to keep the energy up until lunchtime. Take a look at some of our mid sized options that are perfect for this job including the bbox mini Lunchbox, Yumbox Original Lunchbox, MontiiCo Bento 3
3. Lunch
Normally occurs at around 12:30 and lasts for up to an hour. Its important to make sure that lunch is engaging and relatively fast and easy to eat as the lure of serious playtime is strong. Our range of Bento inspired lunchboxes makes this a breeze. Try the bbox Lunchbox, Omie 2 in 1, Yumbox Presto, Bentgo Kids, GoBe Snack Spinner or the MontiiCo Feast Lunchbox
Hydration
Don't forget about hydration. Keeping your child drinking fluids is key to a clear mind hungry for learning and helps keep the 'fog' at bay. Insulated is ideal for Australia's climate as it keeps the contents cool for hours despite the temperature outside.
Its a good idea in Australia's climate to put your lunch and snacks in to an insulated lunchbag with an ice pack such as the Montiico or Sachi or bbox lunchbags
You can take the guess work out with one of our curated bundles that are designed to make sure you are well covered.
