Favorite food containers for daycare
MaryEllen

I'm having a hard time finding containers to send lunches to daycare. I have to send one container of stuff she can eat with her hands, and one with food they can spoon/fork feed her. I like to send 3 lunch items - a meat, veg, and side. So I'm looking for containers with 2 sections so the meat and veg can go in one (and she can eat from that container with her hands) and then I can send a pasta/mac n cheese/etc for fork feeding in a different bowl. They also can't be too big - have to fit in her tiny basket in the fridge.
Did that make any sense? I haven't finished my cup of tea yet. Anyway, I can't find good containers anywhere - have tried BRU, Kmart, and Target. Any suggestions? Thanks!

What about something like this?

Cute but it can't go in the microwave. I forgot to mention that - sorry!

Sorry, I was wrong, it's Sassy. This one is at BRU but I got mine at Target. It has 2 sides and the smaller containers fit in there, or you can use it without. I usually put chicken fingers or something in one side and use the bigger take out part to put veggies in so that the veggie juice doesn't drip. Make sense? Here's the link, I don't know how to make it clicky.

I like that, it's just too big. Her basket is so tiny - right now I can barely fit her 3 sippy cups and tiny little bowls. And there is NO extra room in the fridge.

Oh really? Seemed big from the dimensions. I'll have to look at it because if it's a good size, it's exactly what I need. Thanks!

Mine are like this (same pattern and color) but they are more flat, so longer. They store nicely on the bottom of the bage/basket and other stuff can be stacked on top. This is the closest I could find to what i actually have my MIL gave them to us for her first birthday and I need to find out where she got them because I want more! They came in a two pack with a toddler spork in the middle of each...

That looks like what I saw in another baby's basket at daycare - I like them. How many uses do you get out of them?
