Lunch Ideas for Kids

Lunch Ideas Kids Love

School is almost here!! Are you ready?? I’m slowly trying to prepare for those crazy days that await! We make our own lunches at home 99% of the time so I’m already getting prepared. Just this past week I bought the kids new lunch boxes, and I’ve also been thinking of lunch box food ideas too!

Yup – we’re talking healthy food ideas today and I’ve not only compiled a great list for you but also put together a few Printable Lunch Box Notes and Jokes that the kids will love. I mean, eat healthy and enjoy a little joke too? What kid wouldn’t want that?!

Let’s start with some of the Lunch Box Food Ideas…

{To PRINT this list, just CLICK on the image above and then RIGHT-CLICK and SAVE. Open it in a program like WORD and PRINT.}

Tons of Ideas

There are so many different things you can pack for your little ones for lunch. I think it’s great to change it up so they don’t get bored as well as making sure there are tons of healthy items to keep them energized and happy through out the day.

I compiled this list using some of the food we use when packing lunches. As you can, there are tons of ideas and hopefully your children like over half of them! 😉

Lunch Box Notes

This is pretty close to what our lunches look like here at home. To be honest, the kids have never complained yet! They like a sandwich, some healthy snacks and maybe a small treat and they’re set! I also make sure to make a nice, cold drink (especially with how hot it gets here in Houston!)

And we can’t forget the printable Lunch Notes and Jokes!!

  1. Heya.

    I had many picnic lunches outside in order to make the most of this summer. I had fruit burgers and tuna salad. I even prepared a corn on the cob and stewed pears with honey too. I also ate so many different sandwiches and sausage rolls with butter. Good luck. I also cooked up a lot of mini bread rolls and slices of pizza. That was fun. Take games in case.

    I then had a entire tray of cupcakes and biscuits as a dessert. For drinks I had plastic cups of lemonade and water. One family picnic consisted of cupcakes, mini bread rolls, fruit, biscuits and water. Another consisted of sandwiches, pizza slices, burgers, corn on a cob and plates of stewed fruit plus lemonade. We played bingo at the picnic. Have a camera for photos. I like to eat brownies.

  2. Where can I find the You’re a Star tag that was on Pinterest??? It says there is a free printable but I can’t find it anywhere on your page. Thanks

  3. Your link to the back to school memories printable is actually the lunchbox ideas. Would you mind fixing the link or sending me the right one please?
