The best lunchbox designs from paperchase, argos and more

Healthy eating for kids is a hot topic. As good parents, we’d ideally like to encourage our children to eat a nutritious, balanced diet but kids can be fussy. Packing their lunch into a fun

box may not guarantee they'll eat their greens, but it might encourage them.  Paperchase’s Flyway winged lunch bag focuses on this season’s obsession with unicorns; pink metallic wings

and a pastel rainbow strap complete the look – what’s not to love? It has a silver lining inside to insulate the contents and a pocket on the front for storing snacks. Fine Nordic’s melamine

lunch box may not be practical for carrying your sandwiches to school but the individual compartments and snap-tight fittings will ensure the perfect carry of a picnic. Happy Jackson’s All

You Need Is Lunch bag is perfect for on-the-go snacking and summertime picnics - it has woven handles and is made from 100% polypropelene so it can be wiped clean.  Lunchbox, £16.95, Joules
