Not only that - if your kids lose or forget it at school, no biggy... I buy strawberries every week. lol :)
I packed her sandwich halves ontop of one another into the container, along with a juice box, strawberry applesauce, hard boiled egg, and two tootsie rolls (for dessert - one of her faves). I also snuck in a small spoon for the applesauce you'll see tucked behind her sandwich.
After closing the container, I put one of the stickers I made on top of the container where the strawberry label once was.
She absolutely loved it! She actually asked me to do it every day for her... lol, oh kids! Who knew a container I throw in our recycle bin every week would be such a hit. :)
That's awesome K! I usually just give our containers to Sam for her kitchen / grocery cart. It's a good way for her to learn to sort the fruits from the veggies. BUT, I love this idea! I'm gonna have to do this over the summer! (-Krista)
ReplyDeleteIt would be a great use for field trip days too, when you don't want the kids to lose their lunch box and a bit more fun than just a plain brown bag. :)
