Description
This kids' bento box brings a whole reef of sharks to lunchtime. Eight species swim across the deep navy lid, each labelled by name: hammerhead, saw shark, sandbar, Caribbean reef, blacktip reef, salmon shark, blue shark and great white. Under the cream rim sit two stacking navy tiers, and one of them has a cream divider, so a sandwich, fruit and a snack can each have their own space. A blue elastic strap wraps round the middle to hold the tiers and lid together. It measures 17cm long, 9cm wide and 8cm high, and weighs just 0.18KG.
That compact size slips easily into a school bag, a rucksack or a picnic basket, so it suits packed lunches, school trips and days out at the park or the beach. Splitting food between two tiers keeps crunchy crackers away from juicy fruit, and the elastic strap helps keep the contents secure when a bag gets bumped about. The named sharks also give little ones something to spot and talk about over lunch, from the flat-headed hammerhead to the toothy great white.
The base is polypropylene, the middle polyethylene and the lid polystyrene, with a strap of nylon and polyethylene. A blue fork and spoon are included, and they sit in a tray tucked inside the lid, so they travel with the meal. The base can go on the top rack of the dishwasher, but the lid should be washed by hand, and the box should stay out of the microwave, so warm anything up on a plate first. A gentle wipe with a soft cloth keeps the printed sharks bright. We think it makes a cheerful gift, especially packed with a favourite snack.
