Instructions

Lunchable #1 Instructions:

  • Assemble the ham, turkey, and cheese sandwich (or you can make whatever sandwich is your kid’s favorite!). We’re only going to use half of this sandwich, so cut it in half and place it in a sandwich bag.
  • Put the sandwich in the sandwich container. Use the baking cups as dividers.
  • In the 2 baking cups, put the crackers (I used Cheese-It’s cause Gio loves thosand fruit (I used grapes.
  • Store in the fridge until school day!

Lunchable #2 Instructions:

  • Create the “meat rollups” by layering 1 slice of ham and 1 slice of turkey, then roll them up and slice into 5 pieces.
  • In the 3-section container, put the rollups in one section, some cubed cheese into another section. In the larger section, I put crackers (in a baking cup), some cherry tomatoes, and a Reese’s cup for dessert!
  • Store in the fridge until school day!

Lunchable #3 Instructions:

  • Use a rolling pin to flatten out the slice of bread, then cut the crusts off.
  • Put jelly on one half of the bread, and peanut butter on the other half (both on the same side!). Then, roll up the slice of bread, put it in a sandwich bag, and chill in the freezer for a few minutes.
  • In the 2-section container, but 2 baking cups in one section. In 1 baking cup, put some cherry tomatoes. In the other, put some cheese crackers.
  • In the larger section, put grapes in another baking cup. Then, I added a Reese’s cup for dessert.
  • Take the PB&J rollup out of the freezer and cup into bite-sized pieces. Put it in the lunch container and you’re done!
  • Store in the fridge until school day!

For a drink, put your kid’s favorite juice in a small travel cup and pack it with the lunch containers.
