Kid Lunch Ideas
Olivia has never been a picky eater, but when she started kindergarten she suddenly stopped eating her lunches. We didn’t qualify for free or reduced lunches and I didn’t want to buy her prepackaged lunches so I got creative…
I still pack her lunch everyday, even though she is perfectly capable of packing her own now. It’s one small way I can show and demonstrate love. I know she appreciates it and many times I. keep her lunch a secret, especially if it’s “fancy.”
