Lunchbox
called a tiffin box in many Indian schools, it is the container children bring from home with their midday meal. In a classroom, who has a lunchbox and who doesn't is something children notice quietly without being taught to.
If your child asks about Lunchbox, tell them: "It is a word you might hear in Indian stories." Then ask them — "Where do you think you'd see Lunchbox in real life?" It opens a small conversation about Indian culture.
