I love those graphic illustrations from the sixties; they have such character and charm. So I was immediately enamoured with this small plastic lunch box! Cheerfully proclaiming 'I Love London', there's an iconic red bus and several stylish figures stood at the bus stop all within a lacy boarder. I'd eat sandwiches everyday if I got to pack them in this trendy box. A generous 15cm by 13.5cm and an impressive 7cm deep, there's plenty of room for sandwiches, biscuits and other treats. Available online from Oliver Bonas, the affordable 'I Love London' Lunch Box is just £5.

Those hot summer day always seem to sneak up on you. One day you'll be wet and chilly only to find the next is boiling hot and sunny. Rather than plan weeks before you'll need them, the Zuko Ice Lolly Maker lets you create healthy treats in just 10 minutes. A great activity for kids, they can mix fruits and juices to make their own colourful treats. Simple and easy to make, you just pour your juice, diluted squash or yogurt into the mould and add one of the reusable handles. The Zuko Maker needs no electricity; you just keep the compact base unit in the freezer. Then when the sun comes out you'll be ready make up to nine lolly ices before it needs freezing again. Don't think this is only for kids though; frozen Mojitos make a fantastic finish to your summer barbeques. Available from Lakeland, the Zoku Ice Lolly Maker is £39.99 and includes six lolly sticks, six drip guards, a recipe book and a large lolly removal tool.

Cute and adorable, I've seen the ToddlerTäble Cutlery turn someone into cooing goo faster than a basket full of kittens. Their soft chubby handles are ergonomically designed for tiny hands, giving them a firm grip as they develop their co-ordination. The small cute utensil heads are specially designed to be both practical and safe. The fork has no sharp teeth, but uses its unique prong shapes to create enough friction to hold food on the tines. The knife can cut soft food like boiled vegetables, bread and cheese, but the plastic blade won't hurt little fingers. Finally the spoon has a comfortable shape and makes it easier to get food from the plate and into their mouths. Dishwasher-safe, and free from harmful chemicals like BPA, Phthalates and PVC, the adorable ToddlerTäble Cutlery Set is £29.95 from HUS & HEM.
Pink ToddlerTäble Cutlery - £29.95
Orange ToddlerTäble Cutlery - £29.95
Blue ToddlerTäble Cutlery - £29.95

While we can appreciate the beauty of good quality food containers, our families may not agree. If you're tired of watching your best containers disappear into the office kitchen or lost on the playground, an EasyLunchbox may be the solution. Walking a line halfway between disposable containers and investment storage containers, the EasyLunchboxes are multi-use containers you can afford to lose. Designed by Kelly Lester, a busy American Mum, the EasyLunchboxes want to reduce waste, stress and help you pack a healthy lunch in minutes. Sent to us by Becky & Lolo we've taken time to really get to know the new kid on the Lunch Box scene. Designed for dry foods, the EasyLunchboxes don't offer an air-tight or leak-proof seal, but each container does have three different compartments. Great for Bento style lunches, there's no need to search for plastic bags or extra containers. One lunch = one container. The EasyLunchbox Kit includes four containers and an insulated bag (though a set of four boxes is also available independently if you'd rather use your own lunch bags). The Easy Lunch food container sits flat on the bottom of the insulated bag, leaving plenty of room for a drink, ice pack and a piece of fruit. With four containers included in every set, you don't need to wash the containers every night and you can prepare meals a fews days at a time. Made from high food grade polyprolylene plastic, the Easy Lunchboxes are free of PVC, BPA and phthalates and safe in the dishwasher, freezer and microwave! Now in the UK from Becky & Lolo, the Easy Lunchboxes save you time and stress on those busy mornings.

I've not got any little ones myself, but it only takes one trip with a young niece or nephew to realise how tricky it is to prepare bottles on the go. The revolutionary bottle from yoomi simplifies life by combining the bottle and warmer into one! Rather than lugging around flasks or asking for hot water, all you need to do is push the orange button and fit the insert inside the teat. Ready in just 60 seconds, the milk is heated as it flows through the channels on the insert. This gently warms the milk to natural breast milk temperature (32-34°C). The warmer then stays warm for up to an hour. There is no chance of overheating the milk and the warmer can be recharged up to 100 times. 100% BPA free the yoomi Self Warming Bottles can fit in any standard electric steam steriliser. A great idea for busy families on the go, the yoomi Self Warming Bottles are available from John Lewis.
yoomi Self Warming Bottle - £22
yoomi Warmer - £16
yoomi Bottle - £7.50
yoomi Slow Flow Teats (Pack of 2) - £4.50
yoomi Medium Flow Teats (Pack of 2) - £4.50

Designer Takae Mizutani feels that while there are many gorgeous egg cups available, those poor toast soldiers have been horribly neglected. Rather than leave them lying on the plate, so she designed her own whimsical Egg and Soldiers set. Made in Cornwall, England from an earthenware clay, the Egg and Soldier Set adds an engaging charm to this classic breakfast dish. The two piece set holds your egg securely behind the turrets of a small castle, while the toast soldiers valiantly stand upon their royal stead. Inspired by childhood stories and imaginative dreams, the Takae Mizutani Egg and Soldier Set is £25 from Red Direct.

Finally I thought I'd share a few of the new Kinderkitchen Utensils. Continuing the animal theme, these tools are designed to help children cook successfully. The first item pictured is the Bird's Eye Open Scoop. The silicone beak on this stirring spoon protects your non-stick pans and scrapes bowls clean, while the hole through the centre reduces the resistance so little arms don't get tired. The second photo is of the Crocodile Jaws Tongs. This cheeky grinning reptile has a narrow nose perfect for reaching in jars for pickles or picking up sausages. And finally we have the Cockatiel Whisk, which features a full plume of feathers for mixing eggs or desserts. The plastic beak also serves as a finger guard so it doesn't slide out of little hands. A cute collection of tools, the Kinderkitchen Utensils are all available from John Lewis.
Kinderkitchen Bird's Eye Open Scoop - £4.95
Kinderkitchen Crocodile Jaws Tongs - £4.95

I've been eager to feature the new Kinderkitchen Collection since I saw their products in John Lewis a few weeks ago.

The squeeze bottles are much easier to handle than the traditional icing bag. The short bottles are especially good for delicate designs and fine details. The set includes four icing bottles so you can use several colours at once, nine steel decorating nozzles, a frosting spatula and a recipe book. Brilliant tools for family baking, the Kinderkitchen Cookie Cutters and Decorating Set are available from John Lewis.

With the children on their summer holidays, I thought we should feature some kid friendly items for the kitchen. I love these new acrylic containers by Lego. The lids feature the iconic Lego form and bright colours we fondly remember from childhood. The set includes four containers in three different sizes, and all the lids are interchangeable. The sizes aren't perfect as the tallest container is too short for spaghetti and only the middle container is good for tea and coffee, but who can resist these nostalgic stacking blocks. The lids and bases stack neatly together, mirroring the Lego blocks we all played with. A set that will charm children of all ages, the dishwasher safe Lego Storage Set is £19.55 from the online Lego Shop.

While making your own baby food is simple, making such small portions can be tricky. The Beaba Babycook and Blender steams, blends, defrosts and reheats in a single compact unit. Perfect for making fresh food daily, the Babycook is simple to use and easy to clean. Straight forward and intuitive, you simply fill the bottom basin with water and steam your fruits vegetables and/or meat for 10-15 minutes.
