Lunch Box Snack Ideas

Silly me. I thought I'd start blogging when my boys went back to school, but forgot that it means back to school for me too! I'm a substitute teacher, and although last year I wasn't in full swing until mid-October, I've subbed for 7 days so far this school year, and have another 9 scheduled.

My dear (brilliant) friend is blogging about lunch box ideas, so I thought I'd join in. Here are some of the successful items I've added to my guys packed lunches.

Popcorn
Cupcake or cake sandwiches (slice the bottom off the cake, put it on top, sandwiching the icing in the middle - my kids named them)
Graham Cracker Cookies (also named by my kids, they're simply graham crackers with icing)
A peeled carrot (It somehow is cooler to just eat it Bugs Bunny style)
Cheese sticks
Yogurt in tubes (freeze them, they thaw but stay cold by lunchtime)
Snack size applesauce
Pickle Spears (double wrap!)
Clementines
Apples
Snack Pack Puddings (bought on sale with coupons of course!)
Dry cereal
