    Awesome! I always try to pack a special treat from Mom once or twice a week as a special surprise for my 3 school age kiddos. :)

    My kids always took their lunch – even through High School as they really didn’t like the school lunches. I always tried to have a homemade treat to include rather than stuff like twinkies. To make it fun once a week each child would get a note or “coupon” for a special outing that week with just the two of us. They never knew what day it would appear or what the outing would be. That would give me an hour of special time with just that child each week. It was often just a walk in the park or a trip for an ice cream cone or even once in awhile a special lunch somewhere on Saturday. It is amazing how much they looked forward to finding the note and seeing what we were going to do together that week with just the two of us!

    When my daughter wants to take her lunch we always make it together. I let her decide what she wants to take. After it is packed and ready to go I always throw in a little something extra. If she did not pack fruit I will throw in some fruit. Or I may add some yogurt, something along that line. If it is test day I sneak in a little note to encourage her to do her best or sometimes just a little note to tell her we love her and are proud of her.

    When son #3 was in 3rd. grade I found Rosie O’Donalds “Kids Are Punny” book at Goodwill for .59. Each day I wrote a new joke from the book on a folded index card. Joke on front flap, answer on the inside. This became so much fun for he and I, and his friends too.

    For son #4, He liked having fish on fridays. Goldfish that is. He liked “fishing” for them in his thermos of tomato soup!

    Once a week I put a free pass to skip chores for the day. They don’t know what day to expect it.

    I go for low sugar and low salt lunches, but once a week we’ll have a “junk food” lunch like pizza or something else fun. It’s important for kids to learn good diet habits young, so they’ll continue on this way as they mature. I also like to put a little note in on the napkin, with my famous flower doodles (that’s about all I can draw…)

    thanks!

    I always decorate my little girls lunch bag. I stick with her favorites when packing her lunch. Since I can’t be there when she eats lunch I can relax because I know she will eat what I sent.

  21. Crystal

    I have a picky daughter, so I let her decide what goes in. Also try to make sure I ask if she ate everything or what she didn’t, that way I can know how healthy/snacks to have out next time. Thanks!!

  24. Jingle

    Have your kids help make their lunches! That way they get excited about eating what they have prepared and you get some help at home!

    Growing up, my mom always let (made?) my sister and I pack our own lunches. We knew that we had to include a sandwich or yogurt, fruit or veggies, maybe some crackers and only one treat. Then, if we were upset with our lunch for whatever reason, it was our own fault and not Mom’s. Also, it gave Mom and great chance to talk to us about healthy eating choices.

  29. Caroline Grossman

    To attempt to liven up packed lunches I use cookie cutters so that the sandwiches have different shapes during the week, write a note with a sharpie pen on a napkin and mix up the sides (grapes, strawberries, pretzels etc.) to attempt to make lunch fun and diverse.
