Oots! Lunchbox Giveaway!

Encouraging our kids to make healthy food choices is so important. We can't always count on school lunches to meet our kids' nutritional needs, so choosing to pack a lunch is a great way to teach them about a healthy diet. The eating habits our children pick up when they are young will help them maintain a healthy lifestyle when they are adults.

The Oots! Lunchbox is a new take on an American Classic... and it's eco-friendly too! These cool, contemporary lunch boxes  come with their own containers. Cleaning is easy and the use of space is optimal. The upright design prevents food from being tossed around. Re-using the containers eliminates the use of disposable plastic bags, and is perfect for your healthy homemade lunches.

All materials used are food safe and kid-friendly: made of BPA-free and phthalate-free polypropylene plastic, and safety tested for lead. The Lunchbox and containers are dishwasher safe and the containers can be used in a microwave.

The Lunchbox comes in three different color combinations: Blue, Green and Orange.

To help get ready for back to school, we think it would be fun (and useful!) to come up with a list of healthy lunch ideas that aMuse Families can refer to when packing lunches.

Leave a comment about a healthy lunch favorite in your family to win your own Oots! Lunchbox!

We plan to compile all the entries into a master list of healthy lunch options so you can refer back whenever your ideas run dry. You are welcome to leave as many ideas as you have, but each commenter will only be entered once for this awesome giveway! We will annouce winners on August 30th! Good luck!

Sandy Feet

Spots & Ladybugs Sandy Feet

 

Childhood is fleeting. We only have one chance to guide our children through these short but important years. As parents, we hope to provide them with memorable experiences they will cherish forever. Kids are especially keen to retaining memories when removed from their familiar settings, and are able to spend time somewhere special. So, of course, the beach is the perfect place to cultivate cherished memories with your child. 

Stimulate your child's senses with this poetic and unique on-site craft. Your child will hear the rush of the waves as they gather ocean water to mix the plaster. They'll feel the gritty sand squish between their tiny toes as they make their footprints along the waterline. They'll taste the salt in the air and smell the breeze of the seawater. And when they're finished, you'll have a tangible token of the experience to remind you daily of the beauty of childhood.
