It’s so crazy that the new year has already begun, and it’s now February! This year seems to be flying by quickly already. With the kids in school it does make it easier at times. There is still a lot I need to do with the kids in school. I have one daughter who is in Girl Scouts and the other is possibly joining something soon. I think it’s great that kids can join a club or sport that they can get interested in. I love that both of my girls enjoy school a lot. It’s nice to see them enjoy it.
Since kids are going to school, that means you may need to make up their lunches. I enjoy making lunches for my daughters. It’s the perfect time for me to get creative. During the holidays you can always come up with something fun for them. My daughters love it when I do this. Many kids love it when you show your love in their lunch boxes. You can always put notes in there or make up something special with their food. There is so much you can do for them!
Since Valentine’s Day is coming up soon, I was able to create something with my girls lunch boxes. I picked up a few items. Out of the Del Monte fruit cups I was able to make this cute “love bug” for them. I wrote on the banana for a Valentine message. Then I made some hearts out of Nature’s Harvest® bread. I always put in a snack as well, so I went with the Entenmann’s® Little Bites™. Those are always a wonderful snack for all of us.
School can be a very busy time for many of us. I always take the time to make my daughters lunches. It’s a lot of fun to be able to create something for them, and they love it. Being able to see how happy they are is always the best. They always get so excited and you can see that on their faces all of the time. That’s the best part! Seeing kids happy is always great.
Del Monte® will be hosting a themed “Think Outside the Lunchbox” booklet on 1 million packages of it’s Fruit Cups at WALMART, with $4.80 in instant coupon savings from these great lunchbox brands: The Laughing Cow® Cheese Dippers, Sara Lee® Snack Cakes, Juicy Juice®, Nature’s Harvest® bread, Wet Ones® Hand Wipes, Mini Babybel® and Entenmann’s® Little Bites™!
I love a great savings, so I’m all up for this. I love all the products that are listed as well, so having coupons with them is even better. I try to save as much as I can. I’m happy to be able to find all these great deals at Walmart. I shop at Walmart at least once a week for my grocery shopping. This is perfect for me so that I can save some money while shopping at Walmart.
I hope that you’ll all be able to come up with some creative ways to pack your kids lunches as well. I’m sure that many of you already do this too. I always pack up my daughters lunches the day before school. This is easier for me because we get up very early so they can be on the bus by 6:40 am. I’m not much of a morning person myself, so it’s easier for me to have everything ready a head of time. You never know when you may wake up late as well. Being prepared a head of time for school has been something that I have always done. I even get my kids clothes out the night before so that I’m not wasting more time in the morning getting anything else ready. It saves so much time!
Now remember, you can check Walmart for these coupons right away. You should be able to find them on the participating products. There are a lot of great savings in there. I check products for coupons all the time. You’d be surprised how many love to put coupons on products. I’m just glad that some of my favorite products will have these awesome savings.
I hope that you’ll all think outside the lunch box and create something special for your kids lunch boxes. I know they’ll truly appreciate it if you do. Have any of you tried these products I had mentioned for your kids lunch boxes? They sure make great lunches!

That is a really creative lunch. I have to admit, I usually just throw my kids’ lunches into a bag as they frantically run out the door to get the bus. I should really do something more fun.
I always plan the night before. I always seem to be in a rush in the morning, so I make sure things are done ahead of time.
Love your creative Valentine’s Day lunch. I will be looking for some of these coupons.
Thanks!
Those Little Bites look YUMMY! I love how you pack her lunchbox – the banana is too cute! What a fun way to make her day special!
Thank you! I love the Little Bites too. They’re great for snacks.
There is nothing better than doing something to make your child smile at lunch. Let’s be real, we are busy as moms, but taking the time once in a while to do something cute like you did or to write a note means so much to our kids.
I completely agree!
My kids would love lunches like this! The Del Monte are perfect for lunch boxes!!
They sure are. My girls love Del Monte fruit cups!
These are products I use in my kids lunches. I love to leave little surprises in their lunch box.
Yes! Me too. It can be fun.
Little Bites and Dole are a staple here. We always have them available, and well stocked! I dont make lunches for school anymore but I do make the 3 that are homeschooled fun lunches a few times a week.
Same here. They both make great snacks.
Ooooh – I’m going to do this in my grown daughters lunch next week! 2 of our grown kids have moved back home. My son and I now have contests making his sisters lunch…LOL, the other employees at the school where she works, make is a point to come check out her lunch each day. Next week, I bet I win!
That’s awesome. Such a neat idea!
Little Bites are my kids favorite snacks in their lunch! This whole lunch looks amazing.
Little Bites are the best. I love them!
I remember taking lunches to school when I was a kid. There is so much more cool stuff to pack now!
I agree. There are many options now.
That is a school lunch to smile about! I love easy ideas like this, when packing my son’s lunch.
Me too. They’re so fun!
What cute lunchbox ideas! We homeschool but we go to a homeschool class all day one time a week so lunches for my kids need to be packed. I always prepare the night before that way I am not frantic the next day!
Right! I hate not being prepared for the next day.
Aw, how cute! I think I’m going to use the banana idea. My daughter would LOVE it.
Great!
My kids love Delmonte products too. I think you made them look really cute with those Valentines touches.
Thanks! Del Monte is a great brand for snacks for my girls too.
The more creative the meal is, the greater the variety of foods kids eat. Have an effort in making an attractive meal that kids will surely enjoy.
I completely agree!
You always have such fun ideas for kids lunches. Your children are so lucky you are so creative and energetic to come up with lunches I bet their friends are jealous of.
Thank you!
I’m loving the cute lunch you put together! I liked being creative with my kids’ lunches too. These were some of their favorite snacks.
Glad to hear it! It’s fun being creative with kids lunches.
This is adorable! I would love to do this in the future for my kids if I ever have any.
I’m sure they would love it too.
You are winning the mom award packing those lunches, they are so adorable! My kids are grown now, but I can remember frantically throwing their lunches together in the morning as they were running out the door. I love the DelMonte fruit cups, my husband and I bring those on the road with us they are so convenient when we are staying in hotels.
Those fruit cups are the best. We love them too!
I wish my kids were still little so I can make something like this for them on Valentine’s day! I love your reminders to your kids that they are loved!
Thanks! They love it too!
I love how you incorporated Valentine’s Day into the lunch. More often than not I find myself preparing lunches in the morning. Doing it the night before would be less stressful for sure.
It is fun! My girls just love it a lot too.
I love these ideas! It can really make a big difference in a kid’s day! They will love it.
It sure can!
I always try to make my son’s lunch look fun and of course add some healthy snacks in there as well. I love how you personalized things for your daughter…just too cute! The DelMonte cups are awesome and I always put one in there with his lunch!
I love adding in healthier snacks. It’s great for kids to have something healthy for their lunches. I’m glad you love the Del Monte fruit cups too!
My kids will surely love this fun and cute idea! This is the cutest idea I’ve ever seen.
Thanks!
My nieces will love this! This is their favorite lunch! This is so adorable!!
Thanks! I’m glad to hear they’d love them too.
It’s definitely important to be creative when it comes to preparing lunches for the kids. They get bored with food easily especially if they’re picky eaters. These are all lovely food products.
I agree. It’s nice to have something fun for them to eat.
With 3 children getting them involved in the lunchbox process is a must! I let them help pick out the items and those coupons really help!
Coupons are always a big help. 🙂
I adore your Valentine’s Day school lunch setup! What a sweet message to send to school with your kids- and we are big fans of these fruit cups in our house for snacks and for school too!
Thank you! The fruit cups are a big hit in our house too.
My kids love getting the Little Bites treats in their lunch boxes. They love the surprise because I don’t put things like this in their lunch box very often.
Those are really good. I love eating them myself.
Great ideas for lunches, I love coming up with fun things to put in my daughter’s lunch. Love these products as well.
Me too. It’s fun!
Cute the way you pack lunch. When my children were young we had to put mostly everything in baggies lol. Now they make all the great little containers they can take with them.
I love that they have all these containers for lunches now.
We homeschool, but we still don’t seem to have a lot of time for lunch! We tend towards quick and easy at lunch still.
I love being able to make these fun lunches whether it’s at home or at school. 🙂
My daughter is a teen and she still enjoys getting fun things in her lunch box. I love the little critter you made from the fruit container!
That’s great that she still loves it!
I can’t wait to start doing school lunches! Yours look so good and healthy!
Thanks! It’s a lot of fun too.
These are great ideas! I love packing lunches for my kids on days when the school lunch isn’t something they like.
I agree. I do the same.
Our 6 kids take packed lunches every day and a few of these items are found in their lunches. Love that there are so many good options for packed lunches.
I’m glad to hear that! I love all these products for my girls lunches too.
Making cute characters in the lunchbox is so in these days, Kids had more interest in eating it compared to the usual lunch boxes.
Right! It’s fun to do and the kids love it.
Omg my daughter loves little bites!!! My hubby does too and packs them in his work lunch as well!!
I love the Little Bites as well. They’re good!
What a cute lunch! My kids love little bites!
Thanks!
This is one of the things I hate most about my mornings. These are some good ideas and tips to help!
Right! 🙂
Such a good ideas! I will bookmark this and I can use this when my kids was starting to school.
Great! 🙂
