I try to make sure my kids lunches are healthy by including plenty of fresh fruits & veggies. On certain occassions I’ll include a little note .
Cathy
I always put a party napkin (pirates, bugs, disney,etc) in my kids’ lunches. I’ll pick them up in clearance. The kids love them!
Lisa
My daughter and I make her lunch together so she learns what is healthy and what is not. I never saw an 8 yr old count out a serving of something based on our lunch making lessons! So proud!
Lisa
already getting your awesome email…..thank you!
beth shepherd
We make the lunches together and I always add some type of fruit and a note from me
Thank you for the chance

Paula
My daughter is a very picky eater, so she doesn’t get many fruits and veggies….that’s why I try to send V8 Fusion as her drink most of the time. I also send a note on occasion. :)
Samina
My kid’s a toddler, so I’m not packing lunches for him yet, but I’m sucking up the tips as they come along! I’m also a subscriber to your blog via bloglines.

I always let my daughter pick out what she wants for lunch. She gets to choose which sandwich, which fruit and which dessert. This way I know there are healthy things in her lunch that she will actually eat!
Jennifer Laxson
I put veggies and ranch dip and my kids eat it…Yes I’ve spied on them at lunch!!!

I think handwritten notes are essential to making them fun!! As for making them healthy, I love using wraps and the kids love them too. I will roll them tight and cut them up into smaller sections to make them bite size for added fun.
kristina craft
I always pack lots of fruits and veggies, cut up small so they are perfect for small hands. To help Miss Morgan not feel left out I always send one cookie or some other small goodie. That gives her something to look forward to. She usually eats everything.
Kimberly
My daughter is also a toddler, and pretty impressionable. When I’m about to serve her a new healthy item, I look very impressed and say “OOOH!” She looks at it and says “OOOH!” too, then opens wide. Works almost every time! :o)
Victoria
I mix up what’s put in the lunches by using the variety packs.

I make lunches fun by writing a note on the napkin so I can brighten their midday meal. I always include vegetables and / or fruit.
jjean
Veggies and whole foods are fun when packaged them in small containers and made into tasty salads. Broccoli with craisins & sunflower seeds, carrot salad or a light cole slaw in a small tub looks cute and appetizing, or some raw veggie sticks with dip.

My daughter helps pick out items for her lunch and gets her lunch bag all ready for the next day. After she goes to bed, I sneak a note into her bag. She is still learning how to read, so it’s always a picture of some sort with a couple of words that she knows.

I like to have my girl help me make her lunch so it can get her excited to eat it. I also add a little note to tell her I love her.
Rachel
My best idea for keeping lunch healthy and fun is to keep the kids guessing. I like have a variety of lunch ideas and change things up during the week. I research ideas online
andrea v
My kids like me to surprise them with something fun and different then what they would get at home.
