Lunchtime is a vital part of a child’s daily routine that supports physical health, cognitive development, social skills and emotional well-being. Back-to-school season often means preparing lunches, but it doesn't have to be a chore with these easy lunch hacks:

Slice an apple and then wrap it up with a rubber band to prevent browning.
Use cookie cutters to make sandwiches into fun shapes like flowers or hearts.
Take smaller, metal cookie cutters to slice shapes into fruits and veggies. Apples, carrots, cucumbers and melons work great!
Flatten sandwich bread with a rolling pin, fill it with your choice of foods like hummus and cucumbers, roll it up and slice to make sandwich rollups.
Add sprinkles to almost any food to make it more enticing! Sprinkles can also be savory — like chia or hemp seeds.
