Thomas and Friends - Dinnerware - Side Kick Lunch Box Set Review

Thomas and Friends - Dinnerware - Side Kick Lunch Box Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I gave this 5 stars for fun, because my son loved it from day one, and would not leave the store without it. He played with it for days while we waited for school to reopen after Christmas.
I rated it 5 stars for educational value, because it made him want to go to school, which is a significant educational achievement indeed.
Unfortunately, I had to mark it down, because the water bottle is already broken at the point where the button to press it open meets the cap. Also, the straw is hard to clean, especially after a young child eats a cheesy snack and nibbles on the straw.
Lastly, the front compartment is very difficult to open, especially for a young child, so you end up not using that section at all.
Other than these, it's tough, it's cute, and it's a retro look that parents remember all too well. Substitute another bottle, and enjoy.

This blue lunch box set includes everything little engineers will need for lunch time fun!  The front of the lunch box shows a picture of Thomas, James, and Harold hard at work.  Push down on the outer compartment lock to access the outer storage area - perfect for quick snacks or school supplies!  The  red handle on the top allows for easy carrying to and from lunch time.  Slide the red lock over to discover a double-decker sandwich box and pop-up straw canteen. 

The clear double-decker sandwich box features a picture of James, Thomas, and Percy on the lid, and contains a blue shelf that lifts out to reveal a lower compartment.  The white pop-up straw canteen has a colorful picture of your favorite friends from the Island of Sodor having a really useful day.  The blue top on the canteen has a push button release that opens the protective lid of the built-in drinking straw.  This Side Kick Lunch Box is the ultimate Thomas & Friends lunch set!

I'm glad I bought this pitcher
I think it's very nice
It fits well in the fridge's door
With quarts of juice and ice
It's nice and wide for filling
You'll never waste a drop
It holds two quarts of water
With a multi-purpose top
Kool-Aid Twist comes as a mix
A fetching shade of blue
I poured the powder in the cap
To measure for my brew
Kool-Aid first and water next
Now let the fun begin
I moved the handle up and down
to blend the powder in
Seconds later I was done
So proud of my success
I mixed two quarts of yummy drink
Without making a messAmanda Richards, April 25, 2008Note: The cover has three positions - open, closed, and the one with that strainer thing to hold back the ice when pouring. The only problem I foresee is that the cover fits fairly loosely, and may come off when pouring the last dregs from the pitcher. It may be advisable to keep your hand on the lid when decanting.

Somebody should've invented this ages ago! No more swirling with spoons that are too short, or risking a shaking maneuver; this pitcher has an agitator inside that can be spun with the handle to mix up powdered lemonade, fruit punches, iced tea and more.
