With the school term fast approaching here here are three Lunch Box Ideas to encourage the children to eat their lunch at school
The Novelty Factor
My two like anything with the novelty factor (I guess like most of us), give them different packaging or a known brand they are undoubtably going to wolf it down! Yoghurts in pouches instead of boring old yoghurt pots and Jelly in it’s own pot is going to win!
The Treat Factor
I know most mum’s like myself want to give our children healthy lunches. On the other hand the children are going to want things that are a treat. The answer is to make a healthy lunch with a twist of ‘treat’ and Hartley’s Jelly can be that treat. Jelly considered a treat in this house and is a reminder of parties and all things fun. However to keep us mum’s happy there is a no added sugar range that we can use!
The Colour Factor
When we want to make something more attractive we add colour to it. Make lunches colourful and then children will be drawn to them. You can use colour in more than one way, you can theme the whole lunch around one or two colours, or as is often talked about you can ‘eat a rainbow’ and add in loads of colours.

Lovely as the No Added Sugar ones are, they contain sweeteners: Aspartame & Acesulphame K. We don’t really know the effects of these sweeteners in children or even adults. It is a quandary for parents!! I think I’ll stick to the added sugar ones as a little bit of added sugar in a lunch box is fine, in my opinion.:)
