Two carry handles and a zip that closes\nthe whole way round, which means a five-year-old can open it, unpack it, and close it again without help, so packing and clearing their own lunch\nbecomes something they do rather than something done for them. Measures 6.3 x 4.75 x 3.7 inches, small enough to sit inside a backpack rather than\n swing off it, and light enough that a small child manages it alongside everything else they are carrying. Sold through the MoMA Design Store, whi\nch stocks it because Hayao Miyazaki has work in the museum's collection.","imageUrl":"/images/products/moma-studio-ghibli-totoro-lunch-bag-kHrsS3roVNHB46PkfLGD5e1HK2zPo2.jpg","name":"Studio Ghibli Totoro Lunch Bag","pickedBy":"SAM","price":30,"slug":"moma-studio-ghibli-totoro-lunch-bag","staffPick":false,"url":"https://www.education.supply/products/moma-studio-ghibli-totoro-lunch-bag","whyWePicked":"Because the things kids carry to school every day should be allowed to have a little personality too."},{"ageRange":"1 year+","brand":"Tonies","categories":["Tech"],"currency":"USD","description":"Meet Toniebox 2 – the audio player designed for their hands, powered by their choices, and built to help them grow.
