Separate lunch bag for snack time

My sons teacher asked that we send snack in a separate bag. I'd like to get a small insulated bag because he likes to take yogurts, cheese, hummus somi'd like to get something insulated that I can put a small ice pack in. Any suggestions? TIA!

That's smart. I just put his snack in his lunch bag with his lunch, and I usually throw a ice pack in there

This is what I have been doing. It's what the teacher suggested. I have my DD bring the brown paper bag back home and I resuse it for a couple more days. I'ts just a little wrinkled, but still usable!

After my creative kid ate his lunch for snack & didn't have lunch (a WHOLE sandwich), snack had become a ziplock bag in the backpack clearly labeled & filled w carb of the day. I find it a great success if he eats hummus or yogurt for lunch or dinner.

As the OP asked, I am pretty sure this is not allowed. In our case, it's not allowed. That's common sense, and what I had been doing, since the ice pack is in there. But our teacher (like the OP as well I think) does not want snack kept in the lunch box. I assume it's easier for it to be separate than for kids to shuffle through the lunch box and maybe eat too many things, waste time, etc. That's why I also was trying to figure out a way to send in a perishable snack without having to use another lunch bag/ice pack that was too large. So I have just been sending dry carby snacks, since it's just too hot to send in cheese or fruit. My DD would never eat warm fruit.

No, I was being serious when I said that's smart

My little guy prob does eat his snack during lunch. Never occurred to me to send snack in a different bag

I just put that snack in the second compartment of his lunch box and he knows to save it. I know the teacher wants another bag for snack but I'm drawing the line, lol! I don't need another bag to keep track of.

This exactly! Of course she's not forcing us to buy a separate lunch bag, but she highly recommends it and it makes sense. The past 2 days I sent snack in brown paper bags because they had dry snacks. Today they are buying their lunch since they've been begging me so I am sending their snack in their regular lunch bag. But I'd definitely like to get a small separate bag so they can have yogurts, hummus and carrots, fruits.

Thanks for the suggestions ladies! I'm going to hit target this weekend!
