Carl Oscar lunchboxes for boys

A monkey, an elk or a giraffe on the lid: with the Carl Oscar lunchboxes for boys, every break gets a little more cheerful. At Tiny Giggles you choose from two models. The N'ice Box keeps lunch cool thanks to a cooling pack in the lid, and the Sandwich Box is a super-light box for sandwiches. Both are suitable from 3 years and free from BPA and phthalates. Below you can read which lunchbox best fits your son's day, in summer and in winter.

Four lunchboxes, three animals

• N'ice Lunch Box Kids Lime: green with a monkey.
• N'ice Lunch Box Kids Orange: orange with an elk.
• Sandwich Box Kids Lime: green with a monkey.
• Sandwich Box Kids Turquoise: blue with a giraffe.

The monkey appears on both models, so your son can use an N'ice Box and a Sandwich Box in the same colour, for example one for lunch and one for morning break.

The N'ice Box in brief

The N'ice Box is a leak-proof lunchbox of 12.5 x 17 x 6.3 cm and 300 grams. The lid holds a cooling pack and clip-in multi-cutlery, and a small container with lid that fits inside is included. The clips open easily. Put the cooling pack flat in the freezer for at least 8 hours, and lunch stays cool for up to 5 hours at room temperature. Prefer it without the cooling pack? That works too.

The Sandwich Box in brief

The Sandwich Box weighs only 80 grams and measures 14.5 x 13.8 x 5.3 cm. It's made from one piece, with a hinged lid. There are no loose parts to lose, and the lid opens without your son needing help. Ideal for a few sandwiches, and it fits easily in any backpack.

Summer or winter: which lunchbox?

In summer, when lunch sometimes sits in a warm bag for hours, the N'ice Box with cooling pack is the best choice. Dairy, cheese, eggs and cut fruit then stay fresh until break. In winter, or if your son mainly takes sandwiches, the light Sandwich Box is often enough. Many families switch by season, or use both at the same time.

A school day with Carl Oscar

• Morning break: a few crackers and a mandarin in the Sandwich Box.
• Lunch: a wholemeal sandwich with cheese, cucumber and some yoghurt with fruit in the small container of the N'ice Box, kept cool by the cooling pack.
• After school: whatever's left, your son eats on the way home.

Learning to open it himself

Boys of 3 or 4 often want to do everything themselves. Both Carl Oscar lunchboxes help: the N'ice Box with clips that open easily, the Sandwich Box with a hinged lid. Practise at home a few times, and he'll manage at daycare or in class without help.

Less waste

With a reusable lunchbox you no longer need sandwich bags or foil. That saves a pile of waste and money every week. The multi-cutlery that clips into the N'ice Box lid also replaces disposable plastic cutlery.

Carl Oscar lunchboxes for boys on days out

A good lunchbox isn't only handy at school. Going to the zoo, the beach or on a long car journey? The N'ice Box with cooling pack keeps lunch fresh away from home too. Add a bottle from water bottles for boys, and for small snacks one of the snack boxes for boys.

Tips for picky eaters

• Let him choose his filling and which fruit goes in the small container.
• Cut sandwiches into strips or small squares; they're easier to eat.
• Pack smaller portions and top up another day.
• Keep wet and dry foods apart in the separate container of the N'ice Box, so nothing goes soggy.

Brothers and sisters

Several children in the family? Give each child their own animal, such as the monkey for one and the giraffe or elk for the other. Everyone recognises their own lunchbox straight away, and there's no discussion about whose lunch is whose. The girls' versions with a cow are under the Carl Oscar brand page.

Cleaning

Rinse the lunchbox with warm water and a little washing-up liquid after use, and let it dry open. The Sandwich Box can go in the top rack of the dishwasher. For the N'ice Box, first take the cooling pack out of the lid and put it back in the freezer afterwards.

Make it a set

The Carl Oscar animals also appear on the drink bottles. See the Carl Oscar drink bottles for boys for a matching bottle, and the whole brand under Carl Oscar. A lunch bag keeps everything together; see lunch bags for boys. More lunchboxes from other brands are under lunchboxes for boys and bento lunchboxes for boys.

Everything for school

A lunchbox goes with a complete school bag. Choose a backpack from backpacks for boys and find everything for the new school year under school. More for break time is under lunch.

A handy gift

A Carl Oscar lunchbox is a practical gift for the first school day or a birthday. Combine the N'ice Box with a bottle featuring the same animal for a complete lunch set.

Tip: write your son's name on the bottom of the lunchbox with a waterproof marker, so his box always finds its way home.

Tip: pack the lunchbox the evening before and keep it in the fridge overnight. In the morning, all that's left is to put it in the school bag. Let your son choose one item himself, such as his favourite fruit; children often eat more happily what they picked themselves.
