I still can’t believe that in a few short weeks I will sending my baby boy to kindergarten. A full day of real school will be a big adjustment for him after several years of part-time preschool. He is generally very excited and naturally a little nervous. I thought a great way to let him know I’m thinking of him was with a special first day of school lunch. Jude can be quite serious and introspective, so I wanted to remind him to smile and have fun. Honestly, my first inclination was to fill his lunch box with hearts, but then I thought better of it. I’m going for smiles and levity, not eye rolling and embarrassment. With that in mind I came up with this simple but fun Full of Smiles School Lunch.
How To Pack The Full of Smiles School Lunch
- The main event is a bagel with cream cheese, turned into a smiley with the help of a cherry tomato and a slice of cucumber. For the eyes simply cut the tomato in half and “glue” the halves to the bagel with dabs of cream cheese. A half a slice of cucumber with the seeds removed makes a great smile, more cream cheese holds it in place.
- Smiling Pepperidge Farm® Goldfish Crackers make for the perfect tasty addition. Fun and familiar, Goldfish crackers are sure to put a smile on his face.
- Round out the meal with your child’s favorite fruits and veggies. I went with baby carrots and cheery cherries!
- Include water or juice, a Wet Ones® Single, and a sweet note and you’ve got the perfect first day of school lunch!
I’m not majorly germaphobic but if there is one time I really want Jude to get his hands super clean it’s before he has lunch at school. After scores of colds from preschool I know how many germs there are at school. I’m sure they are encouraged to wash their hands before lunch in kindergarten but I’d rather be super sure and pack a Wet Ones® Singles right along with his lunch. Wet Ones kill 99% of germs so he can enjoy his lunch and I can have one less thing to worry about.
