Your child will likely eat more than
2,400 bag lunches during his school years. If the
lunches you pack are getting predictable, perk them
up with ideas from Edmonton teacher Maxine Sprague,
author of Super Easy Bag Lunches (The Learning
Center Press, 1999, $16.95).
- Create a millennium bug with
vegetables. Spread cheese into celery, then make
eyes with raisins and antennae with dry chow mein
noodles. Make it a furry caterpillar by sticking
grated carrot into the cheese.
- String doughnut-shaped dry
cereal on a licorice lace, then tie the ends
together to make a necklace.
- Enclose a photo of your dog and
on the back write: "Dear Johnny, I wish I were
eating your lunch today instead of this dry old dog
food. Love, Fido."
- Include a riddle. What did the
tomato say to his friend? "You go ahead. I'll
ketchup."
Super Easy Bag Lunches has
nutritional advice, lots of lunch ideas and recipes,
such as Wormy Dirt Delight. To order, call (780)
