When my kids first started school a few years ago making lunches for my son didn't really feel like a chore. He only went twice one week and three times the next week. Now that both kids are in school and my son is in grade one I find it more of a challenge to make a fun variety of lunches for them.
Not too many kids want the same old things everyday. My daughter is the prime example of a......picky child.....hmm... no that isn't the word as she loves most foods. She just doesn't like sandwiches. This makes me have to really think about her lunches more.
To get fun and creative with her lunch box we try crackers, cheese, veggies, fruit, yogurt and all those fun foods. For a special treat we have sent each kid to school with a Schneiders Lunchmate + Fruit. As a kid I remember opening my lunch to find a lunchable and was super excited. I wasn't a sandwich kid either... maybe this is where she has gotten her lunch habits from.
Recently we check out the new Lunchmate + fruit and each of the kids where excited to choose a lunch. They both actually went with the turkey lunch that includes meat, crackers, tiny cubes of cheese and a fruit cup.
A nice surprise for the kids were the Lunchmate bucks that you redeem at the Lunchmate Club site for fun products like movie passes, gift cards to Subway or Tim Hortons and even toys are available! There are also contests that can be entered at the website, along with a parent's corner and the product information.
