Halloween
Halloween is here and I don't know about all of you but I am definitely starting to feel the spirit. I've dug out my Halloween lunch decorations, put up our skeleton on the front door, and bought Monkey some window clings to put up (one of her fav things to do at any holiday). I hope you'll enjoy these first few Halloween lunches and that you'll feel free to share your own Halloween lunches!
One of my favorite things to do at Halloween is draw little faces onto oranges to make them look like pumpkins. It's easy, it's inexpensive, and it really works well for adding some Halloween fun! If you haven't done it before, give it a shot, I bet your kiddos will love it.
IN THIS LUNCH:
- Leftover Smoked Turkey
- Snap Pea Crisps
- Cheddar Cheese Cubes
- Jack-O-Orange
- Carrots
- Grapes
I was excited to use this bento box again! I haven't gotten to use it much so I am striving to use it more. I really love it, it just packs a lot of food! Yes, I have some inedible decorations in this box, but my daughter is old enough to know to just enjoy them and leave them in the box till the end of the day. Of course keep in mind your child's age and maturity when using inedible decorations.
IN THIS LUNCH:
- Mixed Greens Salad w/ Balsamic Vinaigrette (and tomatoes)
- Cheddar Cheese Skull & Crossbones (used a cookie cutter)
- Skewers: Nitrate free Salami, Marinated Mozzarella, and Tomato half (Got Halloween Skewers at Dollar Tree)
- Sliced Plum (Little spider I got it from Dollar Tree in a bag of mixed Halloween Decorations)
This is a new box and the first time I have used it. I LOVE it. It's a Sistema sandwich box with a divided sides. I picked up the trick-or-treat napkins, the bat picks, and the bat rings from Dollar Tree. I have a sandwich press I used to make the bat pocket sandwich. Again take into consideration age and maturity before using inedible decoration.
IN THIS LUNCH:
- Jam sandwich
- Grapes
- String Cheese
- Nitrate free Salami
- Salad w/ Balsamic Vinaigrette

You can also use cupcake picks, rings, Halloween themed baggies (I get them at Dollar Tree), Cookie Cutters, or use the traditional colors, I'll use candy occasionally like the gummy spiders, chocolate eyeballs, etc.. Hope these helped get you into the Halloween spirit!
