The inventor of the plastic ice cube. 

Hi, I’m Kiersten.  I live in Melbourne, Australia with my husband and 3 young boys.  I started inventing when I was 6 years old.  My first invention was the plastic ice cube.

I needed something to keep my milk cold without making it watery.  I wasn’t the first to bring it to market (guess my age might have played a role in that) but I haven’t given up and all my life I’ve continued to invent new things.  Like “Skew-view” pop-up freeway curtains to stop rubbernecking at accidents, “The buttoner”- a button stapler for business shirts using button cartridges and real string.  You can store it in your desk drawer at the office- see I’m still trying to pitch that one, I liked that.  The Bottle Buddy – dishwasher/counter-top bottle holder, and so on…it’s a long and ever-growing list.

I invented The Lunch Punch®  to encourage my three, energetic young boys to sit down and eat a healthy meal.  They where more interested in playing than eating.  I tried cutting their sandwiches with cookie cutters (waste too much bread), butter knives and kitchen scissors, but I couldn’t produce the sensational shapes I wanted with those tools.  Not being able to find what I wanted in stores either, I opened up my local phone book and began hunting for a manufacturer to help me make what I envisioned. That’s how The Lunch Punch® started.

And even though I now have filing cabinets full of inventions (and heaps more in my head), this is my first invention that I patented, manufactured and sold.  So, thank you for supporting The Lunch Punch® .

From the bottom of my heart…   Kiersten
