Even better, make several ahead of time and seal them in ziploc freezer bags. They thaw really quickly and make for a great grab and go snack. I even put them in lunches frozen, and then they are perfectly thawed by lunchtime.

I’ve always enjoyed making fun and memorable lunches for my kids. I imagine the smile on their face when they open their lunch and know that I’m thinking of them. I’m also a huge fan of putting jokes or notes in their lunch.
I’d also recommend making extra sandwiches and freezing them. These freeze really well and my kids love to pull them out of the freezer as snacks.
