by Rae2262 on Aug. 29, 2008 at 12:38 PMBuy sturdy ziplock bags and fill partway with cold pasta salad. Show your daughter how to roll down the edges of the baggie so if forms a bowl. Include a fork. Make sure to add a ice pack to keep it cool. Adding a half peanut butter sandwich and some grapes will make her lunch complete! Also - find out if there is a "No trading" policy in your childs lunchroom. If there isn't I strongly recommend you start the process of adopting one in your school. I did this at my school after observing children trading nutritious foods for junk! One boy had a coke and M&M's for lunch instead of the nutritious one his mother had packed. If the school won't cooperate, instruct your daughter to not share/trade. |
