Brown paper holds:
apple/fruit pouch
piece of fruit (banana or other)
snack size bag of bite-size fruit (grapes, cherries, berries, cherry tomotoes)
snack size bag of cut veg (bell pepper, celery, carrot, cucumber, etc)
prepackaged cups of hummus/guac for dipping
snack bag quinoa/bean/plantain chips/crackers
2 cheese sticks
pouch of tuna/chicken
snack size bag of nuts/seeds/roasted chickpeas

They have water throughout the day, and they can eat any or all of the above as snack.

The OP specifically asked for fun lunch ideas, not healthy or diet lunch ideas. This lunch, while balanced and nutritious, is a little short on fun. I liked the trader joe lady’s suggestions.

To each their own. The kids have a blast with it, and they picked everything, the only thing I nixxed was peanut butter cups.

I am truly happy your kids have a blast with celery sticks, a banana, a tuna pouch and quinoa chips. I say this with no sarcasm. I just think OP was asking for fun ideas. I’m sure she could’ve thought of a piece of fruit and some cheese sticks all on her own.

Uh…pbj, apple, and Doritos in a brown paper bag. Apple comes home a few times.

Not sure how fun this is but I like sending grilled cheese, Mac and cheese, chicken nuggets, and spaghetti.

Sweet. What did the notes say?

Only way my kids eat is if they are fun lunches so all year round that’s what they are. They are growing.
