Fun Activities for Kids, Families, and Teachers

Do you have a picky eater like I do? Is it a struggle every day to figure out a nutritious lunch to pack for your children like it is in our house? This month Story Time Felts has our awesome FOOD PYRAMID felt set on sale, and to go along with that, I thought I’d offer up these great Lunch Box Choices for those of you who would like some ideas. I know in our house, the less I have to think in the morning, the better! So I put this list on the fridge and let the kids choose how they’d like to build their lunch! If they follow the guidelines, choosing from each category, I can rest assured that they have a nutritious lunch box! I hope this helps some of you as it has helped me!
