Thinking up ideas to keep lunch boxes fun, fresh and something your kids will actually eat can be a challenge. Kids are often picky and there are always the favorites and not-so-favorite food items. Making those lunches as appealing as possible is the best chance to ensure that they are eaten and will provide fuel for learning and development throughout those school day afternoons.
We have gathered a dozen ideas, both from here at ThriftyJinxy.com and from other awesome bloggers to compile this list of 12 School Lunchbox Ideas.
