    Default Small dip containers for lunch box?

    We use planetbox and need a small dip container that will fit in it. I don't like the dippers made by planetbox because they are too hard to get the kids off without spilling. Any other recs? Bonus for a dip container whose lid stays on.

    we use the sistema ones http://www.worldmarket.com/category/...ENQaAruY8P8HAQ

    or sometimes if it is hummus and there's a good lid on the whole container, we use the stainless steel ones without a top. But....here they are WITH a lid! May have to purchase them! http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/stor...Ms8aAkUG8P8HAQ

    The Sistema ones are threaded and easy to remove/replace the lid. Kids like them, except for the fact one is pink and one is purple. Makes my boys upset.

    My kids use the Sistema ones above, and also the tiniest Rubbermaid Lunchblox containers for dips: https://www.amazon.ca/Rubbermaid-Lun...salad+dressing

    The Lunchblox ones are a smidgen shorter than the Sistema containers.

    Just wanted to add that my kids couldn't open the Planetbox dippers, but have no trouble with the Lunchblox ones linked above. I haven't tried them in the Planetbox, though.

    I have this Rubbermaid Premier set. The lids have a wide lip that's easy for my 6.5-year-old to grab to take off and snap back on. And it has a tight seal. You can buy the individual sizes in sets.

    I recently learned that Planetbox redid their dippers. Have you tried the new ones? I just ordered some and they came in the mail today. My 5yo can open them, no problem. Here's the link: http://www.planetbox.com/collections/dippers-1.

    I ordered new set as well! I still have the Big Dipper but lost the smaller dipper set, so ordered new set anyway. Ds1 could open the older version dipper, but DS2 couldn't since he's littler. With this newer version, both boys can open the new set now.
