Now that the kids are back in school, here's a great article on how to pack healthy lunches (for the most part) that the children will eat.  Tip number four, where you make fruit kabobs can also be a fun activity where they help you put the fruit on the skewer. This allows them to be creative in the use of shapes and colors while they create a pattern. Tip number five, the use of a cookie cutter can also be applied to sandwiches as well. And I am willing to bet they would also love to help stuff an apple, especially if you made it into a game about what would be fun to try, such as a piece of cheese and some nuts.
