Brown Bagging It - Making Packed Lunches Fun

Do you send your child to school every day with the same ham sandwich?

A brown bag lunch doesn't have to be boring. To add variety to your child's lunchbox:

• Rotate breads - rye, sourdough, whole wheat, pita.
• Try a fruit kabob. Skewer pieces of your child's favorite fruit on a toothpick.
• Don't forget dried fruits such as apricots and raisin.
• Pack bite-size vegetables such as small carrots and cherry tomatoes.
• Turn a sandwich into edible art with a large cookie cutter.
