Start Your Child’s School Year Off Right
Place a frozen juice box in your kids’ lunchbox. – it’ll keep the food chilled and will be thawed by lunchtime.
Go for variety. Make sandwiches using whole grain tor- tillas, bagels or pitas.
Pack antibacterial wet wipes so your kids can clean their hands before and after eating.
Add grated veggies to sandwiches and wraps for crunch – your kids won’t notice they’re eating something that’s good for them!
Use small resealable bags to pack dressings. Kids can open one corner and simply squeeze onto salad, then discard.
Make bite-sized or mini versions of regular sandwiches. They work well for small appetites and are more likely to
be eaten.
Add a quick note to say good luck on a test or “I love you” to brighten your child’s day.
