For preschool: Skip Hop Zoo Lunchie Insulated Kids Lunch Bag, $15
Appropriately sized for small hands without skimping on the storage, the colorful Skip Hop Zoo Lunchie Lunch Bag brightens up preschool lunch hour. Parents love the nontoxic, wipe-clean, insulated interior, and preschoolers feel independent handling the easy-to-use zipper. With over two dozen animals to choose from, such as panda, monkey, giraffe, frog and unicorn, little ones are sure to find a critter to match their personality.

For all ages: Lands’ End ClassMate EZ-Wipe Lunch Box, $24
This durable, classic lunchbox has a seamless interior that cleans with the wipe of a sponge. It’s spacious enough to hold plenty of food containers and insulated to keep food cold for up to five hours. The lunchbox’s clip handle attaches to backpacks for easy, hands-free carrying. It comes in solid and print designs and can be personalized with monograms or embroidery.
For elementary school: Go Green Lunch Box Set, $35
The average school-age child generates an estimated 67 pounds of lunch waste each year. Help the planet by using this kid- and eco-friendly lunch set. Each kit is complete with an insulated carrier, a nontoxic, five-compartment food container and an 8-ounce stainless steel water bottle. They come in a variety of vibrant prints and can be customized with a monogram.
