A snack box for boys is handy for the mid-morning break at school, a snack at nursery or a day out. Fruit, crackers and vegetables stay intact and fresh, and your child always has something tasty to hand. At Tiny Giggles you will find snack boxes for boys from Carl Oscar, b.box, nuuroo, Yumbox, Skip Hop and Prêt, in cool blue, green and grey colours and with dinosaurs, dolphins and other cheerful animals. Below you can read which types there are and which one suits your child best.
Why a separate snack box?
Many schools have a set moment for fruit or a snack, separate from lunch. With a separate box your child takes out exactly what they need without opening the whole lunch box. That way lunch stays neatly closed until midday. A small box also fits easily in a coat pocket, buggy bag or small backpack.
Which snack boxes are there?
Rotating snack discs from Carl Oscar
The Swedish brand Carl Oscar makes round, rotating snack discs with five compartments: one large and four small. Turning the lid opens one compartment at a time, so your child can take one bite at a time without the rest falling out. The SnackDisc measures 4.5 x 15 cm, the larger BentoDisc 5.5 x 18 cm. Both are from 3 years, BPA-free and dishwasher safe, in colours and designs such as a dolphin or spider. Everything from this brand is under Carl Oscar.
b.box snack box and snack pack
The b.box Snackbox (11 x 16.5 x 5.7 cm) has a flexible fruit compartment with a stretchy seal and two leak-proof compartments for purée, yoghurt or dip. The seals are removable, your child opens the big clip themselves, and the box is freezer safe and can go on the top rack of the dishwasher. It fits perfectly in the b.box lunch bag. The b.box snack pack has two separate, individually sealable compartments, a non-slip base and a soft-tip spoon that clicks into the lid. Browse them under b.box snack boxes for boys or everything from b.box.
Silicone boxes from nuuroo
The Rosa boxes from nuuroo come in packs of 2, are made of food-grade silicone (8 x 4.5 cm) and have a cute animal design. Light, unbreakable and suitable for dishwasher and microwave. Ideal for a handful of berries or raisins.
Yumbox Snacks
The Yumbox Snacks (17 x 13 x 5 cm, 350 grams) has three compartments: 240 ml, 180 ml and a small round one. The box is leak-proof for wet snacks such as yoghurt and applesauce, with a removable Tritan inner tray. For example in the green dinosaur design. More under Yumbox.
Sets from Skip Hop and Prêt
The Zoo snack containers from Skip Hop and the Everyday boxes from Prêt come as a set of three sizes with click lids that nest inside each other. Handy for crackers, cereal, fruit and vegetables.
Handy on the go too
Not just for school: a snack box is also handy in the car, on the bike, at the swimming pool or at a party. With a rotating disc or small box with compartments you share out snacks easily, and your child learns to choose and share. Afterwards everything goes back in the bag, without crumbs or sticky bags.
How do you choose the right box?
- Opening it themselves: can your child open and close the box? A big clip or rotating lid is nice for small hands.
- Leak-proof: packing yoghurt, applesauce or dip? Choose a leak-proof compartment, as with b.box or Yumbox.
- Variety: with several compartments you pack different snacks without them mixing.
- Size: a small box is enough for a snack; for the whole lunch, choose a bento lunch box.
- Cleaning: check whether the box is dishwasher safe and whether the seals come out.
Ideas for healthy snacks
Think of pieces of apple, pear or melon, grapes or cherry tomatoes (halved lengthways for young children), cucumber and pepper sticks, cubes of cheese, rice cakes, wholegrain crackers or a spoonful of yoghurt with fruit. Do not give whole nuts to children under 4 because of the choking risk. Vary regularly to keep it fun.
Keeping it fresh
Add a few drops of lemon juice to fruit that browns quickly, such as apple. On hot days, snacks stay fresh longer in a cooled lunch bag. You can put the b.box Snackbox in the freezer beforehand.
Cleaning
After use, take the seals and loose parts apart and rinse everything with warm water and a little washing-up liquid. Let the parts dry well before reassembling, which prevents mould and smells. Most boxes can go on the top rack of the dishwasher.
Complete for school
Combine it with a bento lunch box or lunch box and a drink bottle in the same style. With create a school kit you get a discount: 5% on 2 items, 10% on 3 items and 15% on 4 or more items.
