U-Konserve Lunch Gear

by Create. Play. Travel. | Updated: October 15, 2014

Looking for simple ways to create less waste in your daily routine? Small swaps can make a big difference! U-Konserve offers bamboo utensils and eco-friendly snack bags to help families reduce household trash. These reusable mealtime accessories are both practical and cute, making sustainable choices easier than ever!

Make mealtime more fun and eco-friendly by eating with a double-sided bamboo spork, instead of plastic utensils. U-Konserve’s bamboo spork is sized for kids and comes with a bright orange mesh bag to keep it clean between uses. The neon bag can be tucked into a lunchbox or purse for on-the-go feeding. The spoon end is ideal to use with baby food, while the spoon-fork combination is great for an older child to use either.

Bamboo Spork

U-Konserve makes this unique two sided feeding utensil, with a spoon on one end and a fork on the other. The spoon has a functional curve that makes scooping easy and the fork has full-size tongs. My toddler thinks this bamboo spork is fun to use because she can eat from both sides of the utensil.

This spork is lightweight, durable, and hand-finished with a food-safe oil. I’d recommend hand washing this bamboo utensil and storing it in the drawstring mesh pouch. U-Konserve’s spork is a great plastic-free utensil for babies and toddlers.

U-Konserve Snack Bags

U-Konserve also makes reusable snack bags. This clear printed bag is made from sturdy BPA-free plastic that secures with a strip of Velcro. The top folds over to secure the contents of the bag. The snack bag is not airtight or water tight, so I’d recommend using it to hold dry snacks. It fits perfectly into a lunch box and it’s easy for a small child to open.

In addition to these items, U-Konserve mealtime products include a diverse variety of food storage containers. Overall, eco-friendly utensils, reusable snack bags, and other reusable lunch items can certainly help a family reduce household trash.

This brand of eco-friendly lunch accessories is a great way to “go green” at home!

Secrets revealed ๐ŸŒ for family travel & worldsch Secrets revealed ๐ŸŒ for family travel & worldschooling!

These tips make traveling with kids ALOT easier!

๐Ÿ“š Schoolwork: Our kids complete lessons in their workbooks several times a week. While traveling, we often bring along Math-U-See workbooks, language arts, and spelling. This keeps our kids moving forward and feeling productive. 

๐Ÿฐ Field trips: We go on excursions to amazing castles, fascinating museums, and interesting cultural centers. We talk about geography and science as we explore amazing places!

๐ŸŽง Downtime: We often have rest time while traveling. We read books or listen to audio books and music. ย 

๐Ÿ’ถ Allowance: We give our kids weekly spending money. They can earn this by doing chores at our Airbnb. I also pay our kids to participate in family photos, often $5 each per city! This results in great attitudes when taking photos in Paris, Rome, or London. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ˜€

With these tips, our travel life easily becomes regular life, and we get to see amazing destinations and make memories together!

Airbnb makes traveling with kids so flexible! But Airbnb makes traveling with kids so flexible! But weโ€™ve had to buy some household essentials for our stays. We usually bring our own:

trash bags, cleaning supplies, laundry soap & stain remover, sponges & dish brushes, extra toilet paper, sometimes cute decor! ๐Ÿ˜† 

The reason for this is that Airbnbs are usually not stocked with household supplies. I have my own go-to to favorite products for wiping countertops and doing laundry. 

Additionally, when we travel, we often stay in 5 to 10 Airbnbs, and itโ€™s nice to have our household essentials with us. 

Which household essentials can you not do without while traveling? ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿงป
