October 17 is fieldtrip day for Missy A.
They had an educational tour at the Centennial Farm,
where they learned about animal lives and planted a radish crop,
which they brought home as a souvenir of their trip.
They were required to bring sack lunches and a water bottle/juice pouch
that were packed on disposable containers/baggies,
with proper name labels for easier distribution.
Since Bento Bloggers and Friends were doing a Halloween Hop on this day,
I decided to theme her disposable containers as such.
I packed her lunches on a disposable fruit containers for which I've been saving for this purpose. Since they usually get 2 field trips a year, I kept 4 in my pantry (for both kids) ready to use anytime. I also printed out on a paper a Halloween themed design to go on its lid for a more presentable and appealing lunch on the go. I affixed it with the use of an invisible tape to protect it from smearing and tearing. I've learned this from a good friend, Nina, over at Lunches with Love. Though she made hers with a label sticker, which is a more durable option. If you haven't seen her version, you can check it out here.
Don't get stucked on store-bought pre-made school lunches. There are better and healthier ways to send lunches to school with disposable containers. Fruit containers are the best. They stay closed till you open them.
Mr G had a similar lunch except that it wasn't themed as Halloween. He creeps out on spiders and bats on his lunches. So I just kept them simple and healthy. But that doesn't mean no more Halloween-themed lunches for him. I would just have to figure out what works for him. I would have to play with my sandwich cutters and see which one would look like halloween-y. Here's what he brought.
