Coming up with lunch ideas and making them every day is not easy. 

Fortunately, once your child hits the tween and teen years, they can generally do most, if not all, of it themselves. Sometimes all that is needed is a little inspiration. Enter this lunch ideas list. It’s perfect for posting on your refrigerator or inside your pantry door.

You may be surprised at how motivated your child is to make their lunch if they get to pick it out. All you have to do is help with the shopping! 

Keep it reasonable by buying ingredients for 1-3 new lunch ideas per week. You can then mix and match these ingredients to make other combos and, of course, have the same lunches a couple of times per week.
