I ususally try to add fruit to his lunches. and he loved PB&J sandwiches which I add simply fruit instead of Jelly. He doesn’t know the difference.

When I worked third shift, I would pack my DH lunch before I headed to work each night. I would also write a note (usually a simple “I love you”) on his napkin. We like to keep fruit sliced and in the fridge to grab & go.

I always get up early to make a school lunch. I love to sneak in extra healthy items, like putting sliced bananas on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich!
Melissa
OOOOOOOOOO, I sure hope i win. I haven’t got my son a lunch box yet! I like to leave at least one surprise in there for him……something snack wise he NEVER gets at home. He likes yogos the best.

I cut the kids’ sandwiches into shapes and in the summer we try to eat outside as much as possible.
Rebecca
Make it the night before! If you make lunch with your child the night before you are able to think about it and not just toss something together that morning.

I always fill their lunchboxes with healthy snacks like grapes, bananas, raisins,etc. I will sometimes put nutrition bars in their lunchboxes; the nutrition bars have vitamins in them,low fat, & calories.Also they taste & look like candy bars so they are gobbled up!

I got my dd some fun shaped chicken tenders. And I pack her some grapes and bananas in her lunch also. at times, when she wants a sandwich, I always cut them into different, fun [email protected]
Darcy
I usually ask my daughter what she’d like to eat, and then I always give her a choice of fruit in her lunch. It’s important that she eats healthfully, which is something I stress when we eat at home.
Lynn
i like to leave fun little notes and draw cute pics of my son for his lunch.

Today was the first lunch I have made (my oldest is in first grade). I got the lunch box all ready the night before except for the sandwich. (didn’t want it to get soggy right?) Well at 7 AM I woke up to find my daughter dressed, hair done, sandwich made, and brushing her teeth. I guess we are off to a great start. I put in a note and a small treat. I love the ideas… I need all the help I can get keeping lunch fun for her. Fun giveaway! Thanks!
Anna-Marie
I always make sure I have stuff available for lunches in case we don’t like what’s on the school lunch menu. Easier to do with all the great deals I find on this site! They got new lunch bags this year thanks to my sweet niece. New stuff is always fun.
Nat
A sweet treat is always a nice surprise!
Brandy
I subscribed to you RSS feeds. Love your blogs!

What a great giveaway !! In addition to my grandsons lunch box, he also takes a paper bag with a mid morning snack. I write his name on the bag and then something silly. One day it’s a “snack a rooni” another day its a “snackasaurus” complete with drawings of monsters. His lunch box always includes either fruit or veggies. And on Fridays, I throw in a small treat. Shhhh, don’t tell Mommy.
Tracey
We were always allowed to chose what we wanted to have for lunch. This is something my sisters and I have continued when making lunch for the kids. As long as the choice is healthy and nutritious, better to have them chose something they like and know that they will eat it than send them to school with something they may not eat.

I don’t pack lunches yet, but my plan is to make a small chalkboard and write a little word of encouragement as something special to open up at lunch.
amy
I love adding unexpected “special” food items in my daughter’s lunchbox. Like homemade chocolate covered strawberries! Also, I make sandwiches in shapes like a big heart or a gingerbread boy/girl, and always add fun veggies like thinly sliced cucumbers and tomatoes to top the sandwiches so they are healthier. Homemade Calzones are also fun to eat and can be healthy! Fruit salad is also a yummy and fun lunchbox treat. I love your blog!
courtney
i always write my kids a special note on their napkin each day, reminding them that i love them, to make good choices, good luck on a spelling test, etc.
