This post is geared towards the preschool  age child but I think it's great for all kids including home school park dates, field trips or family fun!. Keep it green!

WHAT IS A WASTE-FREE LUNCH?

Waste-free lunch essentials for kids going back to pre-school or daycare:
-Reusable lunch bag or backpack. If you need to store food for many hours, choose insulated bags.
-Reusable containers and sandwich/snack bags. Stainless steel or glass containers are a safe alternative to plastic. Choose cloth snack bag instead of plastic bag.
-Reusable utensils and bowl. Bamboo is a very eco-friendly option.
-Reusable placemat.
-Reusable waterproof bib or cloth napkin.
-Reusable bottle. For babies choose safe plastic (BPA-free and phthalate-free) bottle. For older kids choose stainless steel water bottle.
-Reusable labels for naming all your kids items.
