Aaron Burgess — Fri, 08 May 2009 19:30:00 GMT

Assuming your kids' snacks and sandwiches lean toward the dry variety, this reusable 100% organic unbleached-cotton sandwich bag seems like a sound idea for reducing plastic waste. Not sure how well it'd hold up against a drippy PB&J, but that's a problem your washing machine can solve.

$5.99 from Bebeloosh's Etsy shop.

ABC Kids Expo 2008: Snacker Catcher

Chris Ford — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 20:28:00 GMT

It was fun to check out all the new products from the brands that we all know, but it was also fun to find new products from people who had a good idea and are trying to make it happen. The Snacker Catcher, a "big snack" tether, is one of those products.

It basically looks like a pacifier tether - you clip one end to your child's clothes and you cinch the other to a large piece of food (like half a bagel or a cookie or something. Then when your child inevitably drops it, it won't fall on the ground.

Each Snacker Catcher is BPA free and has gone through the lengthy FDA approval process (which isn't something I've seen before in a product like this). There are four ribbon styles available and each should retail for around $9.99. Check them out at Bebalee.com.

Melamine Snack Set from notNeutral

Chris Ford — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 00:36:00 GMT

The folks over at notNeutral in Los Angeles make some of my favorite stuff for children. Check out the Links Melamine Snack set. There are six pieces (a bowl, cup, plate, tray, spoon and fork) that come in either bright orange and red, or cool blue and green, and it is all dishwasher safe. Because it's made from Melamine it's probably not microwavable, but it's fun and would make a cool gift.
