On my quest to find more eco-friendly & family friendly products I came across Wrap-N-Mat. I want to do away with the enormous amount of baggies we use every year. I never reuse them and they just go into the landfills where they sit for an extremely long time.
My 10 yr old son is the only one who takes a sandwich or bagel to school for lunch. My 6 yr old always, and I mean always, takes yogurt. So, I had to wait until Buddy had a lunch bag day. It didn't take long. My boys are only so-so fans of school lunches.
My 10 yr old son is the only one who takes a sandwich or bagel to school for lunch. My 6 yr old always, and I mean always, takes yogurt. So, I had to wait until Buddy had a lunch bag day. It didn't take long. My boys are only so-so fans of school lunches.
I made Buddy his regular cinnamon bagel as his main course. They're pretty tall compared to a sandwich so I thought it'd be interesting to see if the velcro would be long enough to seal the Wrap. Ta-da...success! The next hurdle was how he'd react to taking something other than a baggie. You know how kids love to stand out in Middle School, or not. When he came home I kind of, throughout the after school conversation asked him how well his Wrap did. I didn't come out and ask him how he felt about having the Wrap compared to a baggie. He said he liked it and that it stayed cold.
I was so thankful. You never know how a 10 yr old is going to act in social situations. I've sent it with him about 4 times in the last couple weeks and I'm happy to say it's made it home in good condition. The velcro is strong enough to stay shut through all the lunch box jostling. Being a boy, Buddy uses it as a weapon. :) He liked the Shark design as well. Very boy! It's super easy to wipe off and lay out for the next day's use.
Here's a bit of info about the Wrap-N-Mats:
