5 TikTok Accounts To Make Your Kid’s Lunchbox the Best in the Cafeteria

@mum_made_yum/TikTok

I can still remember being a child and opening my Little Mermaid lunchbox to discover the delicious food my mom or dad packed for me that day. I particularly loved the handwritten notes reminding me that my parents were thinking about me or wishing me luck on what they knew would be a particularly challenging day. Times have changed a lot since then.

Parents are doing a lot more than throwing Ziploc bags and a Capri Sun in a floppy lunchbox. These days, the lunchboxes are more effectively designed and the sandwiches are cut into cute shapes. If you want to make sure your child is reminded of your love for them in the middle of the day, here are some lunchbox inspiration accounts on TikTok.

Birthdays are special times for children, and with schools enforcing new rules that may limit the classroom parties that we once enjoyed, you'll want to do something to remind your little one that you haven't forgotten the occasion. This birthday box idea from Britt Williams is just too cute. Not only will your child feel celebrated, this is a very well-balanced meal.

The lunchbox in this video seems small, but the people at Happy Lunchable were able to pack a lot into it. There were two types of fruit, three veggies, and a full turkey sandwich, sitting on a bed of lettuce. It sounds like the type of lunch an adult would eat, but the sandwich has eyes and a small smile made of cheese.

If you prepare a meal for dinner that your child just can't seem to get enough of, it would be lovely for them to have leftovers for lunch. But our dinners are often served hot. Keeping food hot for hours in a lunchbox can be challenging, but it can be done.

@vanilla.mummy in the b.box insulated food jar For best results when packing warm foods, pour boiling water into the jar and let it sit for around 5-10 minutes, before emptying it and filling it with the food. Heat the food hotter than you would normally serve it if eaten right away. .
