If you aren't already doing that, it might help - unless of course you have rules about eating in the car. :-)learn-2-walkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869191095458280439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-26770979173505019752009-06-23T20:57:55.878-05:002009-06-23T20:57:55.878-05:00I actually use crawfish trays.

It's preparing all you need for an activity in a lunchbox (the old fashioned metal kind). I love it cause it's portable. If we do an outdoor activity, like watercolor painting or nature sketching, I might try packing our workbox in these.Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07652791032069525211noreply@blogger.com
