-- Create Edible Characters. Let your kids wow their friends--and stomachs--with lunch items shaped like their favorite characters. To make a "Pizza Biscuit Bear," roll biscuit dough into a ball, to form the body, and two smaller balls, to form the ears. Create eyes with olive slices, nose with green pepper, mouth with pimiento strips and fur with mozzarella cheese; then bake. -- Bring Playtime to the Lunch Table. It's no secret that kids love to play with their food. Send kids to school with all the fixings for an artistic "Butterfly Sandwich" packed in Ziploc(R) Brand Sandwich Bags and Twist 'n Loc(R) Fresh Shield(R) Containers - a chicken or tuna salad sandwich cut into four triangles, and slices of fresh carrots, chives and celery for the butterfly markings and antennas. At lunchtime, kids can assemble it themselves. -- Let Them Dig In With Their Hands. Who said kids are supposed to stay clean during lunch? Send your kids to school with "Handwiches"--a lunch they can literally get their hands on. Fill the inside of bread dough pockets with your kid's favorite ingredients, like ham and cheese. Then pinch the edges together and bake until golden. Make multiple "Handwiches" at once and freeze them to pull out when needed.
