I hope everyone had a great first week of school. I love looking on Facebook to see everyone’s super cute and creative First Day of School pictures. They are so fun. I wanted to share some creative lunch ideas, so your child’s lunches are just as much fun!

Use cookie cutters. Cookie cutters are a very easy way to turn a sandwich into an animal or a castle. Of course you can use an old-fashioned knife if you are artistic and have the time.

Lots of color. Have a variety of colors for your child. Fruit and veggies add color and nutrients. Double bonus!!

Make it notable. Write a note to your child or draw a fun picture to leave in their lunch box. One of my friends leaves a trivia question in her son’s lunchbox.

Be smooth with smoothies. Make a smoothie and freeze it the night before. By lunch time it will be perfectly ready to be consumed.

If you are looking for someone to tell you exactly what to pack in your child’s lunch, check out Laptop Lunches. They have lots of menus to look at. For some specific products look at my post Ready for School Lunches. If you need some ideas to help add some change to sandwiches look at Fun Sandwich Ideas.

Hopefully this will help make lunches a fun stress free time. Do you have any tips to share for making your child’s lunch fun?
