LIEWOOD Lunchbox Arthur: stainless steel box for nursery and school

Stainless steel instead of plastic

The Arthur lunchbox is made from robust stainless steel with a flexible silicone lid. Stainless steel takes on neither odours nor discolouration – so last week's tomato sauce stain does not stay on as a memento. Even after years the box still looks tidy, which can rarely be said of plastic boxes.

Three compartments, around 900 ml

The three divided compartments together hold about 900 ml – enough for a sandwich, fruit and a snack without everything sliding into one another. At 5.5 cm high, 13.5 cm wide and 17 cm long, the box fits into any nursery backpack.

Made for small hands too

The flexible silicone lid is easy to open and close – even for nursery-age children. That sounds like a detail, but it decides whether the lunchbox actually gets opened at break time or comes home untouched.

Good to know: not leak-proof

The Arthur is deliberately not a sealed box: liquids can escape if it lies at an angle in the backpack. For sandwiches, vegetable sticks and dry snacks it is ideal – for yoghurt or soup it is not suitable. Drinks belong in a water bottle anyway; which ones prove themselves is covered in our post on the Bink Day Bottles.

Care and alternatives

The box is dishwasher-safe and thus everyday-proof. Besides the stainless steel version, the Arthur also comes in Tritan – somewhat lighter and cheaper. You will find both versions as well as matching bottles in the collection bottles + lunchboxes, more back-to-school ideas under Back to School.
