One thing I have been doing for the kids is packing them up great snacks and lunches for school. Little Miss opts to take fruit for snack most days and Chicken nuggets, a bagel or left overs for her lunch. Mr Man is a huge fan of fruit and vegetables alike - and since he is still in preschool, he only requires a snack for school. I have taken to doing some baking and the kids really seem to like my "rainbow bread" as well! I've made bagels for them too - they love it when they are still warm from the oven, and I love the way the house smells when things like that are cooking. I need to make another loaf of rainbow bread soon, perhaps it should be on the docket for tomorrow!
Here is a shot of the kids favorite snack "boxes" - it's our version of bento... they love it, they eat it, they know it's all good!
Mr Man's box is on the left - grape tomatoes and cucumbers, grapes, scooby snacks (graham crackers), rainbow bread slice and dried blueberries.
Miss Thing has strawberries and grapes, a few extra strawberry slices, rainbow bread and an individual cheese cut in quarters.
I love doing this for them! It does take some time but I know that they like it and hope it will be something they remember from their childhood when they are grown.
