Many parents care about packing a healthy lunch for their kids, but don’t think about what they’re packing it in. News on the dangers of plastic keeps piling up.

The company’s solution was to manufacture nifty stainless steel food containers packed in handmade cotton lunch bags.

Education Outdoors Inc. was created by Tim Paczesny in 2005 as a solution for the need to educate children and their families about the great outdoors. His motivating factor began when Tim’s daughter noticed an animal track on the ground and asked him what it could be. He told her that it was a raccoon paw print. “Dad, how did you learn all the things you know about nature?” With that question, Education Outdoors Inc. was created and its first educational board game was about to be developed. Tim was dedicated to making his educational vision become a reality. He composed 400 questions and 100 fun facts about animals and nature and completed the first game called “Camp — The Game That Grows With You.”
