Lunchbox Lowdown Tips for Packing a Lunch Kids will love

(NC)—It's the time of year for pencils, backpacks and notebooks as parents are getting ready for another school year.  And that means packing lunches too.  Before you send your kids off to class with their lunch bag in hand, be sure to take a close look at what you're packing in there. Packing a healthy and fun lunch that your kids will enjoy is no easy task. 

Try out these tips to give you a few ideas to make your child's lunch a hit.

• Work with your kids to come up with lunch ideas. If you get them involved in the process, they'll be more likely to eat what's being packed and it will help them learn how to eat healthy too.

• Switch it up and try to make your child's lunch a little different each day. The variety will keep them interested in their lunch.

• Pack some fun into the lunch with Twizzlers candies, a sweet snack that has zero trans fat and is low in fat.

• Check with your child's school to make sure that there aren't any restrictions on what you can send to school. Some schools may have food policies in place for certain products, such as peanuts, in consideration of students who may have allergies. Parents looking for peanut-free products to pack can now turn to Twizzler products, which are made in a peanut free facility.
