    Healthy School Lunch Ideas for Kids

    My son might just be the pickiest eater ever. It took me weeks to figure out how to get him to eat a sandwich before he started preschool. I'd make these great little meals for lunch (and I was SO proud of myself). Then, I'd present the food to him and he'd just shake his head and yell, "NO!" It wasn't until my friend Lindsey, who happens to make the cutest lunches for her girls, told me that I needed to get more creative that I finally realized where I was going wrong. She sent me all kinds of Mickey Mouse bento supplies and as soon as I cut those sandwiches into the shape of his beloved mouse, he ate them all up! This year I'm going to step up my game. That's why I've been searching for the best fun and healthy school lunch ideas for kids. My little guy (and hopefully your kids) are in for a real treat thanks to these great school lunch ideas:

      It's amazing what a cookie cutter can do to make a sandwich look appealing to them!

      It literally cracks me up how ridiculous kids are. You can't get them to eat it in its natural form, but make it into a familiar shape and all of the sudden this disgusting food item is irresistibly delicious! Whatever it takes I say! I have had to use some tricks with my husband sadly 🙁 The guy never ate a fruit or veggie in his life til he met me. Great resource here!! 😀
