⭐My Top Picks⭐

⭐I don’t have affiliate links (yet, maybe someday) but the Whiskware Stackable Snack Containers are a favorite. My husband calls me “Mama Snacks.” We are a home lunch family. I prefer these over bento boxes because I can fit both stacks in one lunchbox with room for yogurt punches and cheese sticks too! The girls can easily close and open them independently. They hold a lot! 

⭐I also love our Packit brand lunchboxes and snack containers because they come with an ice pack built in. We typically stay at The Cabins at Fort Wilderness, so have the luxury of a full fridge with a freezer and can re-freeze them overnight and bring perishable snacks into the parks.

⭐For plane ride coloring, I used to use rectangular crayons because they don’t roll off the tray as easily. As my girls became more particular about coloring only in the lines I switched to colored pencils. I had small colored pencils with a sharpener in the cap. The shavings could be kind of messy and didn’t always sharpen evenly. Then I discovered, and became obsessed with, these Crayola Twistable Colored Pencils. Great for traveling, in the car or on an airplane.
