9 Snack Box Ideas For Your Preschooler, They’d Love It!
Sometimes getting the boring square cut sandwich or pre-bought bakery buns in your snack box can look pretty boring to a preschooler. So they come home with food unfinished leaving parents frustrated at wasted food.
Aside from packing their favourite food in, why not have some fun and jazz up their snack box a little?
- Pick fruits that are colourful and eye catching
- buy store bought snacks that come in smaller packaging
- buy some bento tools and containers from Daiso branches all over KL
- plenty of examples on the webpages, Pinterest and YouTube even
- most important of all, just to have fun – there are no set rules for creativity.
Here are some of the snack box ideas I have prepared so far:

You might recognise the purple lunch box above and yes, it is a Yumbox. Yumbox is leak proof and it’s pre-portioned illustrated trays guide you to packing healthy and hassle-free lunches and snacks.
This is a US product but we do have retailers in Malaysia. Of course any regular snack box would do the trick and you don’t really need to spend so much on a lunchbox like Yumbox. But if you are thinking of packing a lot of individual sauce-y things like dhals and oily rotis, the Yumbox can come in handy.
