These aren't waste free lunches. But most of the time I use boxes and containers that are reusable so I don't feel too bad about these lunches ;).
I thought they would be fun, and let's be real, I forgot to start the dishwasher the night before. I didn't have containers, most of our items are packed away. These foil lunch packs would be great for a field trip though.
So, basically the idea behind these is that the girls unroll the packs and eat as they go. So treats get wrapped and rolled first, and end with the "main dish" items. I also put a piece of wax paper on top of the foil so it would unroll easier for the girls.
Chicken Meatballs
Vegetables
String Cheese
Tootsie Rolls
Pink Lemonade- the girls usually get water, but I had these leftover from making Lip Balm.

I sealed them with Washi tape, not needed at all, the packs just looked so plain.
I think this is a great idea! For a field trip or road trip these would be absolutely awesome. Wonder if I could get my super picky four year old more interested in his food if he was unrolling a "present"...worth a shot probably.
ReplyDeleteI think using birthday wrapping paper on birthdays would be way fun!
