How to Pack a Lovable Lunch

I often get asked how I pack our Lovable Lunches.


Lets start out by showing you our Lovable Lunches from the past week.


 My favorite one of the 4 below is the one with the stop light.

To make the stop light I used a small round cookie cutter and made 3 holes in a piece of cheese. Then I used the same cutter to cut out a piece of apple for the red light, a piece of cheddar cheese for the yellow light and a piece of green grape for the green light.

I use cookie or sandwich cutters for my Lovable Lunches. 

I usually find the best deals at a second hand store or at the bulk barn. You can also purchase cutters at Michaels,  although they tend to cost a bit more there. I prefer the metal cutters for sandwiches (like the purple butterfly below), but find plastic are good enough for meat or cheese etc.
It is always a good idea to buy cutters after a holiday as you can get them for 50 – 75% off!

 I sometimes try to do a theme to match a unit my daughter has in school. I usually use Google to find ideas and then just modify it to what I have on hand. 

The Lovable Lunch below was meant to be an owl, but turned out to look more like a penguin…I don’t worry too much, my daughter sure doesn’t mind!

My most asked question is about what is that container you pack your Lovable Lunches in. You can read about the containers here and here. 
I love the options to change the magnets on our planet box.

We just keep the extra set on the fridge!

From idea to completion packing a Lovable Lunch for my daughter takes about 10-25 minutes.  It does not always have to be creative, just using a variety of colors makes the lunch more appealing!

Have fun packing lunches! It is a great way to make healthier eating FUN.
