How many times does this happen: you get up early, pack your kiddos lunch and send them off to school only to return with a barely touched turkey sandwich, a whole apple, and an empty bag of potato chips or cookies?
Moms, it's time to get creative with lunchtime! Don't you get tired of eating the same thing day after day? Well so do those tiny human people you're feeding! Don't worry, Kidville Dallas is here to help you out.
First thing's first, get your kiddos a Bento Box. Our top pick is My Square Meals.
They are dishwasher safe and come with their own spork. You can purchase a red or yellow bento box as well as fashionable lunch boxes at the Kidville Boutique.
Bento boxes are great because they allow you to do the second part of our creative lunch plan: Experiment!
Pack different foods to give your little ones some variety. From a hot dog, cheese and crackers, berries, pretzel sticks, carrots, raisins, and more you can expose your kiddos to foods other than potato chips and soggy sandwiches.

Try for a week to give your kiddos something different for lunch each day. Pay attention to what comes back in their lunch box and what's gone. Are their grapes always gone? Try berries next! Do their carrot sticks always come back untouched? Try snap peas or edamme instead!
