Making School Lunch for a Kindergartener

When my daughter, Brooke, started school in September, it was very new and overwhelming for all of us. I didn’t know what to expect or, how she would adjust, and I constantly worried about her. More specifically, I would have thoughts on whether or not I gave her the perfect lunch, to keep her belly full for the rest of the school day.

I eventually got over that hump of anxiety and constant worrying about Brooke’s first year of school. It’s normal to feel that way and it’s very important to talk to other moms who are going through the same thing. You don’t have to feel alone.

School Lunchbox Snacks

At the beginning of the school year, I would pack way too much food in Brooke’s lunch. I was worried that she wasn’t eating enough. It took some trial and error to find out the right amount of food to give, remembering what she was eating and not eating, and offering her choices in the morning. Welch’s Fruit Rolls are always her first choice for making lunchtime a joyful experience and, for myself, it’s one less item to worry about when I make her lunch.

Motherhood isn’t perfect and lunches don’t have to be either. Just know that you are doing the best you can and you are doing a great job. As long as your child has all of the food groups offered to them, that’s what matters. As long as their lunchbox is full, way to go for providing them exactly what they need.

Don’t stress out about another lunchbox ever again.

Welch’s Fruit Rolls

I can’t help but throw Welch’s Fruit Rolls in Brooke’s lunchbox every time because they’re such a fun snack that my daughters really enjoy. They are made with real fruit and I just love the compact packaging. They fit perfectly in Brooke’s lunchbox, in any compartment. I like to put the fruit rolls under the compartment with the flap so that she opens it and sees the surprise every time!

Not only does my whole family love the delicious taste but they have 100% daily value of Vitamin C and 25% daily value of vitamins A and E too. They are great for any occasion and we love them especially when travelling, making trips with the kids that much easier. You can find Welch’s Fruit Rolls at your local Walmart!
