Kids’ lunch boxes can become monotonous not only for our kids, but also for us moms who have to prepare them!

The simplest and healthiest meals will look extra yummy if you pack them in eye catching colorful containers. Variety can be as simple as changing the bread you use, think beyond sliced bread and use flour tortillas, bagels, muffins, small baguette breads, pita bread, and even waffles.
