I’m spending this month writing about back-to-school products that are healthy for your child and healthy for the planet and oh, yes, aren’t ridiculously hard to find or completely unacceptable to fashion conscious little ones.

So, here’s another option for a phthalate-free, lead-free lunch bag. (I KNOW you’ve been reading about these scary chemical additives!) This one by Crocodile Creek is great for your globally aware daughter…O.K…maybe she’s not so aware but thinks this type of design is really cute. I know I do.

This bright and colorful bag meets both the US Toy Safety guidelines and the European ones. (I think that’s pretty important since European standards are much higher than ours here in the U.S.) BTW -Crocodile Creek is known for it’s commitment to child safety.

Features include a lead free lining and construction from phthalate free plastic, i.e. it’s not made from PVC (Polyvinylchloride). It’s roomy too with an outside pocket on each side, one with a zipper for dropping in an ice pack.

I really like the design on this one. The multi-cultural images work for both younger and older girls and the cute greetings in a variety of different languages are a conversation starter.
