While back to school may look a little different for many of us this year, I still think it’s important to have healthy and fun lunch ideas for our kiddos! My boys will be attending preschool and daycare 3 days a week, while my daughter will be home for 2nd grade distance learning with me. I’ve come up with three different fun pinwheel wrap ideas to help make lunchtime planning easier for you and your families!

I am excited to be partnering with Ello Products to showcase their new Sammie Kids Plastic Lunch Container. It’s the perfect side for an entree and side(s), and only has 2 parts! Here are some of the features that I love:

  • Bento-style sandwich + side container with colorful sleeve and color-match locking lid.
  • Overmolded soft base adds protection and a pop of color
  • Color match lid makes packing lunch easy – no question which lid belongs where!
  • Only 2 parts and they are all dishwasher safe.
  • All parts are BPA free
  • The pinwheels fit perfectly in the sandwich compartment!
