Keri's Wellness Wednesday: Lunch box hacks

To begin with, your child is more likely to come home with a full tummy and an empty lunchbox if you get creative. Choose a lunch box that is bright, with characters that appeal to your child.

Surprise your child, while saving paper, by writing him/her a special love note on the peel of a banana.

This is my favourite, pre-slice an apple then put it back together with an elastic band. Easy to eat and still fresh. It’s brilliant.

Anything your child likes, they just seem to like more when it’s on a stick! Let your child help you make skewers for their lunchbox the night before with their favourite fruits, cheeses, and if meat is in their diet add some of his/her favourite meat. !

Using cookie cutters on a sandwich makes it more fun to eat and look at (remember, visuals are key), and it also eliminates the crust for picky eaters.

Go on then, get creative!
