The Pop-up Shape Sorter will help your little ones distinguish different shapes and colours, practice matching and hand-eye coordination, and begin to develop their fine motor movements all as they play.

Going away for the weekend and each child is allowed to bring one toy, my son is taking the Playskool Fold ‘n Go Busy Elephant, all our other daughters are jealous because the elephant turns in to multiple toys all in one. He will never get bored, so many things to touch, hold and play with. Love that its compact, which means easy to store in the car and doesn’t take up much room and you can always enjoy the elephant for hours on end.

Who doesn't love an elephant that you can take anywhere!
The Playskool Fold ‘n Go Busy Elephant is so cute and fun! I recently gave this as a gift to my friends baby and he loved it! It seriously entertained him for so long! There are so many elements in this Elephant that Baby never seems to tire of it. I just asked my friend if she has had to wash it and she said unfortunately yes due to vomit – however it came out good as new. I would definitely purchase this toy again in the future.

This Playskool Fold ‘n Go Busy Elephant is awesome, great for any little age really, I have a 8 week old and he loves it and twin 4 year olds and they love playing with it too. They are very intrigued with the mirror especially but do like the rattle as well. One thing they all enjoy is the hugging and squeezing of the elephant, so cuddly and makes them feel happy and content. I do recommend to anyone this is a real eye giver (they love it). For myself I love the fact that all you need to do is throw into a pillow slip and easy to wash and ready for the next fun play.

My 2 year old loves this, he has not stopped playing with it. It’s very easy to fold down and pop back up, and when folded, fits in a bag nicely. I love the colours, the shapes and the pictures on the shapes. It will definitely be a toy we take on the go. Its great for sensory and fine motor skills and hand-eye co-ordination. A great educational toy the whole family will love too.

Who would have thought that a Playskool Fold ‘n Go Busy Elephant would have so much to do. So many things to play with, look at and feel. It is amazing and a great toy to take away on holidays cause you just need to take the one rather than a bunch of things.
My son absolutely loves it and still plays with it at 16 months old. You can use it as a pillow when not playing with it in the car or at home, it has multiple uses which I like.
My son has learned so many things from just playing and interacting with it, I’d definitely recommend to anyone looking for a multifunctional toy and the fact that it’s fun and enjoyable for all ages. I love that its compact and easy to store, with minimal space, great if you don’t have much room.

I bought a couple of these for my twins, I was so impressed with how compact they are to store, and how perfect they are for little hands. I love the colours and shapes. The toys greatly benefit motor skills, especially babies who were premature that are behind in skills. I would like to add more to my range, and will be hoping to get more for Christmas.

I was not chosen to review these toys unfortunately.. I don’t know how I missed the application, they would have been great for my little one to play with in the early months. Instead, he was given some by his aunt. They are great, easy to handle, quite compact (for travelling which is great), have a great range of features and provide hours of fun.

The stow and go toys are a wonderful set of easy to transport toys ! They can fit in my hand bag or nappy bag which is essential when you go out and cannot take every toy but need things to keep them occupied to avoid cranky disasters. I think the price is reasonable for the toys too. I haven’t had any break which is what you want, durability. All in all I would recommend these and would buy them as present for other mums and little ones 😉

It’s a great feature to include storage concepts in the design of toys. My kids always want to take stuff when we go out and it makes a big difference if you don’t have to have lots of pieces floating around in the bottom of a bag!
The ramp is a hit with kids of all ages. Not just the cars but also balls and various other things roll down those ramps!
I also like how this line of toys avoids narrow gender-specific marketing.

I tested this on a 16 month old girl, and it proved a winner. This has become a favorite for her as she rolls it around for long periods. She hasn’t gotten interested in the gears yet, but it getting her fun from rolling the toy. It is durable and is of traditional Playskool quality. It’s a cute toy and helps the child’s development. I do definitely recommend it. The child will have fun with it and you’ll have fun watching.

How to choose the best lunch box for school
When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.
Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

It has a 100% cotton canvas outer, an insulated lining and comes with a super handy internal name label. Just as great for preschool as they are for high school.
Pros:
Easy-carry handle
Internal name label
Stylish design, great for kids who prefer muted shades
Finally, a kids’ lunch box that stores hot AND cold food in one place! Designed out of necessity by a problem-solving mum, the OmieBox encourages low-waste lunches and ends the need to use multiple clunky containers (which always get lost!). The spill-proof individual compartments mean no mixing of savoury and sweet, and the 280ml double-wall thermos keeps soups and pasta hot for up to six hours!
Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:
Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.
Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.
Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.
I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.
So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.
There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.
There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain
This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.
Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.
This is an extremely useful article!! 2 schppl going kids and third starting kinder soon means we are always on the lookout for lunch ideas and lunch boxes. This is a great list with features and prices listed to make the search easier and help with decision making for purchasing of the lunch boxes
This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones
Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.
These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.
I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.
My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags
My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.
Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.
I absolutely love the bb box quite sturdy. It took many lunch box to find one that would last. Before this lunch box we had a stuck on you. I found the stuck on you lunch box didn’t last when the hinge’s snapped they wouldn’t get back to me (only had for a short time and my youngest couldn’t open it so it wasn’t dropped. Just opened it after the 8th time and snapped). The bb box has lasted the last year and a half and still going strong
What a great help for busy Mommas like us. From the style to comfort and convenience, this article really put the best for our kids. Not to mention the added info about safety on what these lunchboxes were made of! I am also impressed about the organisation function of each, it seems small but woooh could put so much…thanks for sharing this article
