One surefire cure for the end-of-summer blues: monkeys! Lots of ‘em!
We’ve gone bananas over this adorable Monkey Snack Sac from Stephen Joseph. The extra-long strap means your preschooler can sling it across her chest or let it dangle from her shoulder. She’ll look cool, and her lunch will stay cool thanks to the insulated interior. The Snack Sac is sized for snacks or small-kid lunches; you’ll easily fit a drink, sandwich, and snack inside. A couple of bottles will fit easily. If you pack heavier-duty lunches (the kind that involve a thermos, or more than three bananas), think about the larger monkey lunchbox from the same line. Added bonus: the Snack Sac comes with a small package of monkey-themed cards to tuck into your child’s lunch. You know, so your child can be reminded that you’re bananas over her.
