It’s Back To School time once again. Are you going to send the same old sandwich in your child’s lunch box? You can make sure your child’s lunch is both healthy and something they enjoy eating. Here are a few unique ideas and recipes for kid’s lunch boxes.
Weelicious: Fresh is best, a motto you should think about when packing your child’s lunch. The fabulous and beautiful Catherine from Weelicious has thousands of recipes made just for your little ones (but you might find yourself addicted to the carrot snack sticks)! With a daily photo of what lunch combination she sends her son to school with, you can certainly get some ideas on how to reinvent your child’s typical, boring, and maybe not-so-healthy lunchbox.
Revolution Foods: has started a revolution. What kind of revolution you ask? A lunchbox revolution. They are starting to invade your children’s lunch boxes with healthy snacks disguised as “cool” food, food other children will be ready to trade their beloved candy bars and junk food for. With items like Organic Mashups, squeezable fruit that comes in kid-friendly flavors like grape, berry and tropical or Strawberry and Peanut Butter Jammy Sammys
Kid’s Lunch Box Cards: We all remember those cute little “I love you,” notes from mom tucked in our lunch boxes, except as a kid you probably tried to embarrassingly hide them from your friends. You can show your child you love them without the embarrassing love notes, instead pack these cards that contain jokes, riddles, wacky facts and scratch off answers. Your child won’t want to hide these- they will become lunchtime entertainment!
GoPicnic Meals: These ready-to-eat lunches are something I would like to eat for lunch every day. No need for ice packs or cooler lunch boxes, these meals require no refrigeration or microwaving and even meet school nutrition standards. SafariMunch

How cool! I’m going to check some of these links out-it would be nice to send my kiddos to school with “cool” lunches because I am definitely not the best when it comes to being creative with lunches!!
BENTO!! FTW!!! i saw a hello kitty bento box at teh learning store and i HAD to have it but teh hubby said no and dragged me away
I just gave a bento box suggestion to Tenille too. I Don’t have kids in school yet, but I’m looking forward to making them fun lunches!
My kids love sea shell sandwiches made from a recipe in Picture Me Cooking. Take cooked, large pasta shells and stuff them with a tuna salad or chicken salad or egg salad or whatever your kid likes.

My little one starts preschool next week, and I am in charge of soem class snack days soon… those Revolution Foods look like yummy, healthy snacks for the class. Thanks
Those note cards are a cute idea… once my son can read
I know I won’t be looking forward to it as much as I do now, but I can’t wait until he goes to all day school and I can make him fun lunches to take with
