Creative school lunch ideas that think outside the lunch box!

I don’t know about you but during the school year I am always at a loss for what to send to school with my kids for lunch. My oldest is super picky so when I make her the one thing I know she likes (a turkey sandwich) I get complaints that she’s sick of turkey. My little guy starts Kindergarten in September and he’s picky too so I knew I had to come up with a game plan. Thankfully there are plenty of creative people out there who have done the hard part and have come up with plenty of creative school lunch ideas.

Cheers to a wonderful school year filled with yummy lunches and no complaints!

I'm a Jesus lovin' girl who lives in NY with her police officer husband and 3 kids. I love to create projects with a quick turn around time but I'm not afraid of tackling projects that require more time and power tools. I enjoy making free printables and can make a mean chocolate chip cookie.
