UPDATE: Congratulations comment #34 – Samantha!!
When Gwen from Nayla Natural Care asked me if I wanted to review a product from the new Kinderville silicone line that she was starting to carry, I was happy to accept. I try to avoid using most plastics and have switched to stainless steel and glass in most cases with the kids.
She sent me a set of these four little bites jars, with lids to try.
They are able to go in the dishwasher (though, depending on the food stuck in them they wash better by hand), freezer, microwave and are made of BPA-free silicone.
What I really liked about them was that they are the perfect size for snacks for on the go or school. Crackers, fruit (even a whole peach!) will fit in them. The lids form a water proof seal and while it could open if crushed in a bag, for simple transportation I had no problem. I tested it by throwing it in the air while my husband watched in horror.
Also, because of the bendable lids, things like apple pieces get covered even though they aren’t flush with the top. I also use them as serving bowls for the kids to put cereal, apple sauce etc. in. When the baby throws it on the floor (as she does with most of her bowls when she’s done!) it simply bounces!
The Verdict?
While they are not inexpensive ($23.99 for a set of four) they are high in our rotation of really useful, and frequently used bowls/storage containers. Left over meals go in the fridge. Snacks are packed neatly. These bowls would replace many of your other plastic options and for transportation are convenient and safe. Also, looking for a unique baby shower gift? These would be welcomed I’m sure.
Nayla Natural Care also has other products in the Kinderville line including freezer trays, cups and bowls.

Orange is my fave!
Does a creamsicle count as a popsicle, cause those are my favs!! Great giveaway Rebecca 🙂
Those Popsicle molds are perfect for summer in the backyard! We would love to win them. We are tied between orange and cranberry/lemon as out favorite flavors around here.
Grape seems to be a real fav with my husband and kids…I like cherry!
Favourite flavour is certainly banana, though it is often hard to find.
I make popsicles out of green smoothies! Spinach popsicles! And my kids LOVE them.
Ooh, my favorite is a fudgscicle.
Banana was always my fave too, followed closely by chocolate!
BANANA FTW!
Mmmm, strawberry is my favourite! Those molds look great, perfect for camping this summer!
My fave popsicle is root beer!
Okay, first, I haven’t been here in ages, I’m so behind on my blog reading. But squeee! Your new blog is so purty!!
And I love grape popsicles. LOVE them. Mmmmm!
I know it sets a bad example for my kids but I always choose chocolate over fruit flavors!
Chocolate chocolate chocolate! I remember getting chocolate flavoured popsicles from the Quickie when I was a kid (like the banana ones) but I haven’t seen them in years.
Chocolate pudding!
I am an orange girl myself 🙂
Those are so cool! My boys would love them. I like all flavours,but orange is my favourite!
My favourite is lime, although preferably without all the colouring. This is obviously why I need to start making my own again.
ooooh, I’m a cherry fan:)
Watermelon! =)
Pink lemonade yogurt!
We mix – cup milk with 1 tub of 500ml plain yogurt and 1 can frozen pink lemonade. Mix and freeze – the neighbours kids love it!
My favorite has always been orange. Yum.
My favourite flavour is Chocolate. Although, many years ago they used to have a mint green flavour. That was the best. But I guess everyone didn’t think so as they no longer make it.

My favourite is the chocolate-flavoured popsicles!!
My grandparents ALWAYS had Popsicle Pete CHOCOLATE popsicles at their house. We used to ride our bikes up every day to their house and eat chocolate popsicles all day long. It’s been years since they’ve passed away, but my fave flavor will always be chocolate 🙂
My fav flavour is the pink one. I am assuming it’s cherry. Either way I still LOVE popsicles.. and I ate them everyday while I was pregnant.. even when it was -40 out!
love love love cherry! I ate them till I got a freeze headache!
Mango yum yum!!
I love banana popsicles too. When I was a girl we had the “official” Popsicle-brand machine that broke a pop in half cleanly (rather than use the counter!).
Root beer popsicles were definitely my fave as a kid! 🙂
I’m going to go with orange. Yum.
What a fab idea! no more running to the store or after the ice cream guy for a yummy treat! 🙂
oops – post missed my fav flavour! Definately orange creamsicle, raspberry a very close second.
Anything that turned my tongue blue was my fave as a kid!
I love chocolate and banana!!
Mine favourite is grape!
I have two fav flavours–chocolate and banana—yummy!
