Packing lunch everyday is a healthy option but can get boring very quickly. Make lunches more exciting for you and your kids with these 15 lunchbox tips and ideas.
1. Freeze your grapes and pack them in your bag as an edible ice pack.
2. Make the typical sandwich more creative by rolling them up to make sushi rolls.
First flatten the bread with a rolling pin. Add toppings to bread, then tightly roll the bread. Cut into small pieces.
3. Don’t you hate a bag of crushed chips?
Next time, blow air into the plastic bag to keep your chips from breaking.
