Easy Back to School Lunch Box Ideas

Packing your child's lunch box shouldn't be stressful. All you need is a little time to plan in advance. Make a time table to give you ideas when you are stuck. We have sifted through the variety of ideas on the internet and presenting to you 5 of the best and most practical. Enjoy.

Good ol' sandwich:
All you need to do is make it look pretty, use sandwich or cookie cutters to make different shapes or animal faces. Be creative, if your child doesn't like lions please don't cut out a lion shape. It will end up in the bin or back where you left it.
You can roll up bread slices with a rolling pin, spread some butter or jam or filling and then cut into slices, they will look like cute sushi rolls. You can even make sandwich on a stick. Cute!

Yoghurt:

Not only is this a healthy snack, it tastes great too, when it has fruits in it at least. Kids love it, you just have to find a good brand and a flavor your child likes.

Fruit Slices:
From apples, to pears, strawberry and cucumber, the list is endless. Make it look pretty by putting it in a separate container, if your child likes fruit and dip, send one with them too.

Cookies: Better if you make them your self they are so easy to make. Check out this recipe by clicking cookie recipe . You can substitute on different days with oatmeal and coconut, chocolate and even with some apples and cinnamon added too. Bake on.

Home made Pizza: This can even be made in advance and frozen. Use your child's favourite toppings and send them with a slice or two.

Don't forget to send them with some water also and some fruit juice or milk. I randomly tuck in a note in my child's lunch bag to let her know I'm thinking of her, she says it brightens her day.
