More on Packing School Lunch


It can be an adventure figuring out what a little one will have the time to eat and interest to eat while sitting in a crowded lunch room at 10:50 a.m.

I have been packing lunch for our little guy this week! Check out a sample lunch (pictured right): cheese sandwich on whole wheat goldfish bread, mango slices, cucumber slices and a box of milk.

The biggest hit of his lunches has been the football themed sandwich container (pictured below)! Yes, the football comes off and the goal post goes up, yet he has managed to bring it home all week! Plus the container comes with an ice pack that snaps inside,which will help keep the sandwich cold until lunch.


If your little one needs a fun note to keep them going throughout the day, try these lunch notes (pictured right). I found these at the grocery store and they have cute graphics and come with mini envelopes. Although, I'm not sure what age these mini notes would become embarrassing!?

A tip to make life easier: on the weekend, pack mini bags of grapes, sliced fruit, cucumbers, carrots... which makes lunch packing go quickly.

And set 'treat' days! For example, maybe Wednesday or Friday is a treat day: where your little one can buy ice cream at school or bring cookies from home.

Share your lunch box success stories with me!
