How to Pack Lunches Kids Will Love

Are you and your kids both tired of the same lunches packed day in and day out? Use these ideas to add some tasty and healthy lunches that your kids will actually want to eat.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Most kids adore string cheese. Turn that love into a healthy meal. Simply take the string cheese and cut it in half so you have two smaller pieces of cheese. Wrap a piece of ham or turkey around the cheese. Serve it with some crackers and sliced strawberries.

2. Combine one cup of plain yogurt with 1/2 of a package of onion soup mix. Cut up baby carrots, celery, chicken strips (leftovers) and serve with the mix. Kids love to dip their food! An apple completes this meal well.

3. Make a fruit kebab. Alternate different fruits on a stick for a tasty treat or dessert. Grapes, apples, cantaloupe, pineapple, and marshmallows are all wonderful choices for fruit kebabs.

4. Bento style lunch ideas are very popular these days also. They Japanese art packing lunches can be taken on a smaller scale and tailored to your child's likes.
