Back to school means back to school lunches. Not sure I’m quite ready to dust off those lunch boxes, but it’s time. I am always looking for more ideas, suggestions and inspiration as to what to pack in our lunchboxes. I know I can get bored with the lunches I pack, and I’m certain my kids get bored eating them! So I thought it would be fun to do a round of up of some of the great ideas for school lunch packing that can be found around the blog-o-sphere.
Packing the same thing day after day can get a bit boring (for me and the kids) so finding ways to make lunches creative, but simple enough to make at the crack of dawn, is important. I have rounded up over 50 fun ideas, tips, and tricks for making a great school lunch. Check out what other bakers, cooks, bloggers, crafters and parents around the web have been putting into their lunchboxes. They all look amazing but don’t worry, most of them are really quite simple to make!
I will start off with a few of my own ideas…
