More Fun Lunchbox Ideas


I couldn't sleep this morning and happened to catch an infomercial about this product.  It's the PackIt Freezeable Lunch Bag.  Of course I then had to get online and check out their website (that's how lame I am!).  These are really intriguing, as I get really tired of throwing in an ice pack every morning in my kids lunch.  Plus these would work well with the bento-style lunchboxes I featured several days ago - particularly the My Square Meal one!  You can go here to check out the PackIt, and here for My Square Meal.  I'd recommend buying just the actual lunch box on My Square Meal without their case (which costs extra), and then buying one of these babies to put it in.


YOUR LUNCHES COULD LOOK LIKE THIS!  :)
Here are some fun (and easy) lunchbox ideas from Lisa Storms to get you inspired, straight from Lisa's great website.

I love this guy.  Mostly his hair.  I just cut off the crust from the sides and bottom beginning where the loaf dips in.  I wanted him to "talk" so I added a Cheerio for an open mouth.  The speech bubble is just punched cardstock.  The eyes are slices of marshmallow with edible marker.

This guy was cut with a circle with sliced carrot sticks sticking out for hair.  The eyes are slices of cheese stick with edible marker.  The nose is an almond, and the mouth a cut from pepperoni.

You can even make a face in their salad!

Start out with a Smuckers Uncrustables sandwich, and you'll save some time!  Give your snowman raisin features glued on with peanut butter, and of course a carrot nose.  Another compartment is full of  more "noses" on top of grapes, and the last is a marshmallow snowman on a bed of pistachios.  In order to make the marshmallow snowman... spear three marshmallows with a pretzel stick, break another pretzel in half for the arms, and draw on features with food markers.
