Take a supermarket safari. Many shoppers The start of a new school year is an exciting


time for children. Each fall begins with a new teacher, different classmates and a fresh start, making it the perfect time for you and your kids to get back into a daily routine. A good place to start is the school lunch. The


contents of your child’s lunch are important to their overall daily nutrient intake. Packing the right kinds of foods can help them maintain en- ergy levels and concentration throughout the day.

allowing your kids to take the driver’s seat when it comes to packing their lunch boxes. When kids are able to get involved in the process, they are more prone to eat it, as well as learn important nutri- tional information along the way. Consider taking them on their own supermarket safari, using fun-shaped cookie cut- ters for cutting sandwiches or decorating the lunch bag so it is personal.
