Non-Sandwich Lunch Packing Supplies

If you’re like me, you’re probably no stranger to whipping up peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, throwing them in a ziploc baggy and calling it good. I’ve found that using bento style lunch boxes has helped increase my creativity when prepping lunches for my kids.

I’ve also found that packing my kids lunch with cute little animal shaped food picks, encourages them to have fun with their food and eat more.
