Organize Your School Lunch Supplies

Here are some Ideas to help you organize your school lunch supplies, and sources for my favorite lunch packing products.

FIRST DRAWER: PLASTIC CONTAINERS AND UTENSILS

The first area you will want to organize is where you store the lunch containers. Whether it’s a sandwich box, or sandwich bags, this will be the first thing you’ll grab when making lunches.

These are my favorite lunch packing items that make it easy for my kids to easily grab to pack their lunches: – Small Lunch Container – Big Lunch Container – Disposable Portion Cups – Reusable Ziplock Bags

The containers are bento boxes that allow you to split up a sandwich from sides like grapes or cheese. I’m not a huge fan of plastic containers but also don’t love the idea of sending my kids to school with glass containers either.

SECOND DRAWER: STRAWS AND NAPKINS

The next thing you will want to make sure to organize is straws and napkins. Make sure they are stored where the lunchmaker can grab them quickly.

You may also want to consider adding some silicone cupcake liners in your lunch making preparations. They are good for separating snacks like cheese cubes, nuts, pepperoni, etc.

THIRD DRAWER: LUNCH BOXES

The next thing you will want to be sure to have organized is your lunch boxes. I have ours in a deep drawer in my kitchen, but you can store yours in a cabinet, or in a box on the counter.

The important thing is that they are neatly put away, and easily accessible. We have a variety of lunch boxes, but my favorite ones are the EasyLunch Boxes because they fit our EasyLunch Containers like a glove! Bonus: they are super affordable!

FOURTH DRAWER: TUMBLERS, THERMOSES AND WATER BOTTLES

To make sure your child has plenty of water to drink at lunch, or if you send soups, you will want to keep a few tumblers, thermoses and water bottles on hand.
