Top of the Class – Lunch Box Essentials, School Bags and More

Making up a lunch box everyday means it can hard to come up new ideas that are still full of goodness and nutrition. Health guidelines say we should include a starchy food like bread or pasta with some protein, dairy and those all important vegetables or fruit when packing lunch for children.

Jazz up their lunch with some cookie cutters you have lying around the kitchen to make their sandwiches into fun shapes or use wraps to make mini roll-ups filled with ham, cucumber and cream cheese.

Store bananas and make sure their favourite fruit doesn’t get squished by lunchtime with handy little cases from Dunnes Stores and swap fizzy drinks or fruit juice for water with cool reusable sports bottles from Claire’s.
