Materials List
- Outer fabric - a strong fabric is best, but anything can work!
- Inner waterproof or water resistant fabric like rip stop nylon, or an old pool toy also works well!
- Foam sheets for insulation - I used old silver car windscreen shades.
- Long zip and part of a strap for the handle

Kids would love carrying one of these lunch bags to school. Especially if it features one of their favorite cartoon characters.
