School days can get long for kids. Put a smile on your child’s face when he or she opens up their lunchbox to reveal a surprising and tasty combination of foods. KRAFT has made it easy by compiling this ‘cheat sheet’—a must for all successful brown bag lunches. Go to KRAFT.com for more helpful lunchbox ideas.
 
• Place a frozen juice box in your kids’ lunchbox. – it’ll keep the food chilled and will be thawed by lunchtime.
 
• Go for variety. Make sandwiches using whole grain tortillas, bagels or pitas.
 
• Pack antibacterial wet wipes so your kids can clean their hands before and after eating.
 
• Add grated veggies to sandwiches and wraps for crunch – your kids won’t notice they’re eating something that’s good for them!
 
• Use small re-sealable bags to pack dressings. Kids can open one corner and simply squeeze onto salad, then discard.
 
• Get dipping! Pack salsa, hummus, yogurt or salad dressing for your little ones to dunk their sandwich, veggies or fruit.
 
• Make bite-sized and mini versions of regular foods like sandwiches. They work well for small appetites and are more likely to be eaten.
 
• Add a quick note to say good luck on a test or “I love you” – it will brighten your child’s day.
