Spring is finally in the air, and with warmer weather comes a desire to get outside.
From playgrounds to parks to pools, there are a plethora of places for kids to play, but with a change in temperature comes one big challenge: Snacks. After staying inside out of the cold all winter, with easy access to the refrigerator, how do parents pack tasty treats for the season’s outdoor events? Here are three solutions that are sure to satisfy. —Lyndsay McGregor
1: Spbang’s line of bright and functional snack bags are reusable, recyclable and free from latex, PVC, lead, BPA and phthalates. American-made from a material that’s FDA-approved for food contact, these square-shaped pouches are suitable for storing everything from carrot sticks and cucumber slices to sandwiches and granola. To clean, simply pop in the dishwasher. Retailing for $9.99, the bags come in three colors (eggplant, grass and ocean) and feature an embossed pattern of fruit and veggies. spbang.com
2: Boon has redesigned Fluid, one of its most popular sippy cups, to include a one-piece lid that’s easy to clean and spill-resistant. The contoured design—now streamlined with no hole in the middle—also makes it easier for toddlers to hold with two hands. Suitable for ages 9 months and up, it retails for $7.49. booninc.com
3: Booginhead’s Pack’Ems offer a sustainable way to store snacks for trips. Available in both large and small, a gusseted bottom keeps the bags upright, while the Velcro brand Press-Lok closure keeps food fresh longer. Dishwasher-safe and BPA-, PVC- and phthalate-free, a two-pack retails for $9.99. booginhead.com
