Description
This set of three dinosaur snack boxes brings a burst of colour to a packed lunch, with a parade of cheerful baby dinosaurs printed across each cream lid. There are stegosaurs with bright back plates, long-necked dinosaurs, a little triceratops and sail-backed characters in blue, red, yellow, green, pink and orange, all set against a soft pattern of pale leaves. Each lid sits on a bold red base, and the three boxes come in graduated sizes, so there is room for a small handful of raisins as well as a more generous portion. They are square with softly rounded corners, and the set measures 11.5cm long, 11.5cm wide and 5.5cm high.
We think these suit children's lunches best, tucked inside a bigger lunch box to keep sliced fruit, crackers, cheese or a small treat apart from the sandwiches. They are just as handy for days out, picnics in the park and long car journeys, when a snack at the right moment makes all the difference. The square shape packs neatly side by side in a bag, and the bright print makes it easy for little hands to spot their own boxes among everyone else's.
The bases are made from PP plastic and the lids from PE plastic, so the whole set is pleasingly light at 0.15KG altogether. When they are not in use, the three boxes nest one inside the other for compact, easy storage in a kitchen cupboard or drawer. The red bases can go in the dishwasher on the top rack only, while the lids should be washed by hand, and none of the set is microwave safe. A rinse in warm soapy water and a dry with a soft cloth keeps the printed lids looking bright. Nested and tied with a ribbon, they make a cheerful, practical present for a young dinosaur fan.
