A few suggestions we got: With K, make a chart of things she likes and PROMISES to eat if you pack it. Different columns: sandwiches, snacks, fruit, etc. then mix and match. You can remind her that she promised to eat it, so tell her not to put it down if she won't. <br />Also, buy the big cookie cutters at the dollar store and Greg and Kimberly ...https://www.blogger.com/profile/05189483835111005003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8697967492776217409.post-64613164110548297982009-08-27T12:14:06.835-06:002009-08-27T12:14:06.835-06:00I dont have ideas because I dont have school aged ...I dont have ideas because I dont have school aged kids and my hubs likes to pack his own.

The only thing is they're kind of expensive. I also love eating school lunches. I had school lunch for most of my school experience because I wanted to eat it.
