Summer Camp Fun June 23 2017

This week my oldest son started summer camp.  It has been really fun for him which is great! The tricky part for me has been figuring out what to pack in his lunch that he will actually eat.  Now I’m sure you are thinking the son of a culinary professional must have a great palette.  Not to disappoint you too much, but he’s three and is in a bit of a picky stage.  He’ll eat almost anything if it can be dipped in ketchup and mayonnaise but condiments don’t pack particularly well in a lunch box. I turned to the internet for some ideas on how to make my child’s lunch more exciting and appealing. Here are some of my favorites.

  1. Take a traditional sandwich and make it interesting by cutting it into a favorite shape with a cookie cutter.
  2. Have a color theme for the lunch like orange with carrots, cheese, orange & goldfish crackers.
  3. Let your child order their lunch like from the room service breakfast menu that you place on your door.
  4. Don’t stick to traditional lunch items… try waffles, pancakes, or breakfast cereal to keep it interesting.

If anyone has any other ideas I am definitely open to suggestions. 

Happy Friday,

Julie
