These 24 Cute + Fun Insulated Lunch Bags will help keep your kids school lunch cold all morning long. Great for toddlers, preschoolers and elementary school aged kids.

A graphic for the post - 24 insulated school lunch bags with text and a spread of pictures of lunch bags.

Last week I found myself at Target (by myself, which as we all know is the best thing ever!!), with my cart completely packed with school supplies, staring blankly at the rows and rows of lunch bags.

Why my cart was packed with school supplies even though the girls don’t actually have the 2-page list of required school supplies yet, is completely beyond me. But when markers, crayons and notebooks are only a buck, you gotta take advantage and just go with it.

But after spending a solid 30 minutes looking for the perfect lunch bag for Ellie, which she does need, I left empty handed.

Zero Zip Zilch Nada

There wasn’t one bag out of the zillion they carried that would work for Ellie’s school lunch. My requirements are simple 1) needs to be able to hold a bigger size bento box 2) have no TV characters on it 3) be cute and bright because this is a 4-year olds lunch bag we are talking about here.

So, I ran home and got searching online for the perfect bag for Ellie’s school lunches.

And because I know you will be going on a similar hunt soon, here it is, my list of my top lunch bags for toddlers and kids!

They are bright, fun and cute! They don’t have TV characters on them and they can all hold different sizes of bento boxes. If you already own a bento box, please measure to make sure it will fit in the bag you like before ordering. If you are looking for a new bento or have no idea what a bento even is, here is my guide to my favorite bentos (I literally have every bento on the market!).

If bentos aren’t your thing but don’t want to use a trillion lunch baggies during the school year, then look into these reusable baggies. I have a set and LOVE them!

Bonus – all of the lunch bags below offer more boy/girl/neutral themes, so if you find a style you like, make sure to follow the link to see even more fun designs from that brand!
