Making sure my kids eat good, healthy lunches is very important to me. I find my kids have the biggest appetites of any children I’ve ever met so making sure their lunches are healthy, and filling is extremely important. Over the past few years, I’ve had fun making little changes to their lunches for school, picnics or just everyday at home has been fun. I love adding my own little touches, and using the Rubbermaid Lunchblox® lunch kit has made that much easier for me!
Using the Rubbermaid Lunchblox®, I can do my fun bento-style lunches for the kids and have enough room to fit everything in. The air-tight containers and included Blue Ice Pack helps keep everything cool, making sure our picnics kits, and school lunches will stay cool and fresh when it comes time to eat.
Giving the kids a healthy lunch doesn’t mean it has to be boring, and bland. In fact, it is the complete opposite is true. Making fruit and veggies fun is one of my specialties and boring sandwiches? No way! Not in our house.
If you are looking for a creative way to make your children’s lunches a bit more appealing, and kid-friendly here are some fun ways I like to do up my kid’s lunches.
1. Lunch 1: Sunbutter sandwhich pouches, Cucumber, Cheese Cubes, Strawberry yogurt with cut up strawberry pieces, Mixed fruit – stawberries and organic blueberries on mini skewers:
Lunch 2: Cow shaped Ham and Cheese Whiz sandwich, Vegetable thin crackers, Organic blueberries, Cooked broccoli, Carrots, Cauliflower and dip, Pretzel sticks and cheese cubes:
3. Lunch 3: Star pasta salad with chopped broccoli, carrots and cauliflower, Carrot sticks with ranch dip, Orange chunks and Cherries.
There are so many different things you can do. If you hunt down some cute little skewers, toothpicks and little spoons and forks, adding them into the boxes makes really cute lunches. Mini cookie cutters and
sandwich cutters are also great tools to help make a meal that will appeal to kids!
Kid-friendly healthy lunches are made so simple and easy with Rubbermaid Lunchblox Kids. My kids love checking out what they get in their blox, and making their lunches fun has never been easier! With all the space for different fruits, veggies, crackers, meats, pastas, sandwiches, and dips the possibilities are endless!
Better Lunch in a Snap! Rubbermaid LunchBlox® makes packing lunch easier than ever. Modular containers are perfectly portioned and snap together to stay organized in kids’ lunch bags. Rubbermaid.com

Those are so cute! I’m going to have to get some of these for my boys this school year. We homeschool, but I can see this saving my grocery bill since I could ration portions and have snacks ready for my boys! Thanks for sharing! :)
Love how colourful these containers are!
I need to pick up a new set for my youngest so she has some for school.
I have a set of these and I love mine. They make lunch time super convenient.
This is a fantastic idea! I love that you can stack all of these together in one place.
I like the way these were packaged… these are great for picky eaters. I also like the size of the Containers .. they are the perfect size and not overwhelming for Kids
These are great ideas, and this is a great system. When I pack my kids’ lunches it flies all over the place.
These are such good ideas for lunches. My son usually buys his lunch at school, but this would be great even for at home just to plan ahead.
I will have to pick some of these up for school this year!!!
I love Rubbermaid products! They are such good quality and really last well. We’ll be getting some of these for the start of the school year!
That lunch blox is the missing item in my kitchen lol, it is also so cute and I love the colors for my daughter. Thanks! :)
I have seen a few blog posts about these lately and I need some!!! They are cute and the perfect size for me!!
I love these containers! I have some in plain colors (not nearly as pretty as these) but they make packing lunch so easy both for the kids and for me.
These are sized perfectly for kid lunches and snacks. I have to pickup a few.
I wish my girls would eat healthy lunches like these. They are sandwich, chips and dessert kind of kids.
I love making sandwiches in fun shapes for my son, and he especially loves cheese. I’ve seen these containers in stores and I really need to buy a few. They’d be handy for my boy AND for my husband and myself!
I love these little lunch boxes that keep the food organized. This way you can see what they ate and what they didn’t, unless of course they throw it away.
I use these for my own meal prep in the fridge for the week. I pre-make all my lunches for the week so I have something easy to grab. They’re awesome.
These are so great! They get me inspired for the school year. Otherwise I strike out with my older kid. My younger has lunch made for him at school, the lucky duck.
I like to do blueberries and apple slices and cold cuts and cheese.
I pack the kids lunches with fresh fruit, crackers and Pb and j sandwiches although Bella has been refusing pb latley. I have to get a bit more creative with lunches that wont spoil. For school we usually do hot lunches she gets from school.
I’ve been admiring these for a while. So cute and practical!
These are really cute and fun lunch ideas for kids. And I love Rubbermaid products how they keep food fresh.
I just bought these for my son!!! He’s starting school in September and I can’t wait for him to be able to use them!
My grand kids prefer to take their lunch than eat the school lunches so these would be perfect for them. I always try and help my daughter out for back to school so I will look for these.
I am kind of obsessed with containers. Especially my love food containers. THESE ARE TOO CUTE!
These are a great lunchtime solution. My kids would love these for school but they would work well for me when I do my weekly meal planning
love this perfect for school lunches. Often our grand-daughter wants to take her lunch and items that do not go great in the ordinary containers I believe I will be looking for these they will be awesome
Can you come make lunch for me? I think I would love a cheese wiz and ham sandwich shaped like a cow. These containers are very cheerful too. I would totally enjoy lunch more if it came out of these.
These lunch boxes are perfect for kids. They are easy to drop and not break and hold all their food and snacks in one place.
I always like to pack leftovers for my kiddos. I love these little containers.
These little containers are such a great idea to get a variety of different foods. It’s such a great idea to start kids out eating healthy foods.
I love the lunchblox. We have some at the house, they are so convenient!
I love these. I need to get these for my kids, they would love to eat our of these fun boxes and colors!
These look so cute, I nee to get some in time for preschool! I love how they stack so neatly!
Rubbermaid makes durable lunchboxes, they have been in the business for a long time so I trust their expertise in that. This LunchBlox would be great for school kids to pack their lunches in, and it would also be good for me! I would love to take my lunch with me to work so I can keep away from greasy, salty fast food fare.
I love the look of Lunch #1. You can pack so much into those boxes!
These are really cute, my lunch packer is going to the sixth grade. He makes his own lunch {Thank God} but I’m sure he would appreciate the smaller containers for his fruits. He normally uses snack bags which means some things he can’t pack for lunch. I will try the boy version of these for him.
I love those! I bet my kids would have eaten their lunches if I’d packed them in those when they were younger!
I do not have children so for me these would make great organization for craft and scrapbook supplies! Thanks for sharing! :-)
I love how colourful those lunch boxes are! They would brighten any lunch.
These boxes are awesome! I love how you can make such cute lunches using the different sized boxes. Love this!
I do love to pack lunches for the kids. The older they get the harder it is becoming. Thank you for all of these great ideas and those containers!
Those are really cute wares. They look so sleek. The kids will surely love this.
A great idea for school lunch time or even a picnic. We really try to stay away from plastic bags and find ways to use containers and cloth bags that can be used over and over again. This would be a great solution.
These are so colorful and perfect for snacks and lunches.
I can see so many things I’d love to purchase from rubbermaid!
These are cute. I homeschool my kids, but we often go on long outings. These would be perfect.
These are fantastic lunch containers. they are great for packing a snack and throwing it in your bag.
These are great lunch ideas. i love to make the kids cute lunches.
I have some of these same exact containers and I love using them for my kids’ lunches. It is so nice to be able to use reusable things instead of plastic bags. And they love the bright colors, too.
I love the new colors they offer! We have the old set that’s not so colorful. Looks like you’re ready for Back to School now!
I was just looking at these at Target! I love the mix and match quality of these and the ice pack in the middle. Your lunches look so fun!
I have a set of these that we use. Had them today on our hike. So nice to be able to have the containers fasten to the icepack so they stay together and keep the things you need cold cold.
I guess back to school time is just around the corner, so this is timely. I never saw this before but we love Rubbermaid.
I love these Lunch Blox things! Not only are they super convenient and useful, but they are also kinda cute. My daughter loves them!
Wow your kids are having some exceptional lunches. Love the little boxes
I love the variety. There are many different and creative lunches you can do with these.
These are great – very practical! I like the small sizes of the boxes – little kid meals require smaller portions and kids can sometimes be so particular about one food touching another.
These lunchboxes are so pretty. What kid won’t love to eat those yummy and pretty lunches?
I think these sound fun for mom! I like to give the lunches a ‘cool factor’ and these would def. help.
What cute meals you made in these boxes. I need to get more creative with my kids lunches.
I am a big fan of Rubbermaid products from long ago! Thanks for highlighting their kid friendly lunch boxes and these would be perfect for my nephews! Their birthdays are not far away and I was wondering what I could get them! Your have solved the problem for me today! thank you!
These are pretty lunchboxes. We’ve been using Rubbermaid since I was a kid.
This is super cute. Just the right sizes to create little Bento box meals. Love it. We do prepare kiddos meals. This way, I always know what she is eating, for the most part.
Rubbermaid always finds a way to make lunch time easy. Those would be perfect for back to school lunches or summer picnics.
I have a set of this in color green. I love packing the kids food on these!
These look like really convenient containers for kids lunchboxes. I really like the colours of the come in!
I love that these are so durable and they look like they are the perfect portion size, not just for kids but for adults as well. I would make my kids all kinds of cool lunches with this set.
Those Rubbermaid boxes are so cute! I love making lunch for my kiddos and the divided containers make it easier.
Those Lunch Blox are the handiest things to have. They are great for packing lunches. I love the fact that you can keep everything separated. No more juice from your greens getting mixed in with the mashed potatoes! That’s my favorite thing about them.
I will have to remember these for next year for my son. They look really handy.
Those are really great lunch ideas and are definitely good for the kiddos. Sadly, our son can be very picky when it comes to veggies.
These are so nice for school lunches! And great for the environment too.
These look so great for lunches! I love the idea and they would fit easily into the lunch boxes
I love these! Perfect for back to school too! I need to grab a few for my kiddos’ lunches!
I LOVE these! I bought a set for my son last year at the beginning of the school year when he refused to eat the school’s lunch. They are very durable and he used them for the entire school year. They made packing lunches so simple and put me at ease knowing that whatever I packed would remain cool and fresh until lunch time. :)
I love that you can clip all the containers together and that there is a built-in freezer pack, that saves so much space! And that pasta is so cute! Where do you even find star-shaped pasta like that?
Those are super cute and perfect for a lunchbox. They are so convenient and I always trust Rubbermaid to make a good product so I am sure they would last the whole school year!
I love these lunch boxes because it seems to make packing healthy lunches so much easier. I need to pick up some of these for my kids.
These are perfect for lunches! I think a salad would be perfect in them because now you can keep the dressing and salad separate until you are ready to eat. I am going to have to grab some of these!
I love the LunchBlox so much that I own 3 of them. They’re perfect for everything. Love your lunch ideas!
I love lunchboxes like this! It makes it where you don’t have to send just sandwiches to school with your kids. My daughter loves quinoa so she would love to make make that for her
Omg I love these!!!! I would of loved containers like this when I was a kiddo. Kids these days get all the cool things!
We love these rubbermaid lunch boxes! I got a bunch of them on clearance at Target last year and they have come in handy.
I love these. They are so handy.
I need to grab some of these. Thanks for the reminder!
I do agree, I always make sure my kids eat healthy lunches all the time. These Rubbermaid Lunchblox looks compact & perfect with some pleasing colors to chose from. Would love one for my kids too.
It s a good idea to pack children’s lunches in sturdy containers. Children need help to keep their lunches safe.
These are so awesome! I need to get these for my boys this year for school!
Those are wicked cute! I would love to get some of those for the kiddos. The colors are so pretty.
Great lunch ideas! I will definitely be picking some of these up for my girls!
These are some great lunch time ideas. My kids are going to school for the first time this fall and I’ve been debating on doing packed lunches or school lunches. This post inspired me to pack for them, I will have to look out for these lunch blox now.
These tumblers would hold up really well when it comes to lunch time for the children going back to school. I appreciate the color options.
I love how simple they are to stay organized and meal plan! I need to stock up on these for back to school!
We used these all of last year, they are really cool and held up well enough that we are going to use them again this year.
I love Rubbermaid products! This sounds like a great way to pack lunches.
Looks awesome! This would definitely be a great space saver for my little ones’ lunch! :) Thanks for posting!
