*Cute lunch check-in*

in Pre-School and Daycare

I thought I'd have a whole bunch of St. Patrick's Day lunches to show you, but instead I've got a sick kid who has barely eaten in days. :( When she's feeling better, we'll have to do a make-up lunch. I haven't even used my shamrock cutter this year!

No sandwich! Strawberries, crackers, Babybel cheese, yogurt-covered pretzel, hard-boiled egg, and leftover chicken. They're hard to see in the picture, but there are some cute little bug picks on the strawberries.

These puzzle-shaped sandwich cutters are DD's favorite! The frog box they're packed in is also well-loved. Apple, blackberries, Goldfish, cheese sandwiches, strawberries, more leftover chicken and two yogurt pretzels. After she ate the fruit and chicken, she was full, so I just put the lid on the container, put it back in the fridge, and pulled it out at snack time.

I just found this new container at Target (baby feeding section) and couldn't resist! It was about $10. It worked out well in the car because it can sit flat on her lap. It held a LOT of food - more than my DD could eat for lunch - but we took it on a car ride and that worked well because it held her lunch and snacks for the trip. I think it will work for kindergarten, too, where I'll have to pack a snack and lunch. The compartments are separated and one has a water-tight seal, so you could put yogurt or something saucy without worrying about spills.The large compartment on the right is intended for sandwiches or something flat because the lid has an extra compartment that takes up room on that side.

I packed lots of food, didn't want to bother with an ice pack, and there are more treats than normal because we were in the car for a very long time and my girl needs a little motivation to sit after a while! I also used silicone muffin cups to separate the food. I packed Goldfish and peanut butter pretzels (with Easter sprinkles), strawberries, dried cherries, blackberries, cookies, dried mangoes and yogurt pretzels. The lid has another food compartment, and up there I put mini PBJ sandwiches and a napkin.

PIP your cute lunches here!

    How do you get your sandwiches to cut like that? They look like little pillows, R would love that.

    I have this. You use it to make homemade filled sandwiches. I've had mine for a few years now, and have recently seen similar products in the grocery store, but I haven't tried them. HTH!
