Packing lunch is empowering for kids!

Wouldn’t it be easier for you if your children packed their own school lunches? Perhaps it’s time to get them involved in planning, prepping and making them. Invite them to join you in the kitchen and bond while you teach them to create their own school meals and hopefully educate them to make healthy eating choices too.

You might even discover along the way that your kids enjoy the responsibility of being in charge of their food. Allowing kids to pack their own lunchboxes is empowering as they can choose a significant part of their diet, which goes a long way towards a healthy relationship with food and being in the kitchen.

Plus, you could keep a notepad handy, for them to write down their ‘shopping list’ suggestions. As always, GLAD is here to help you and your family. With the GLAD Zip Seal resealable sandwich bags, this is a cinch!

Remember their Zip Seal® clever seal lets you know it’s sealed properly with their YELLOW AND BLUE MAKES GREEN technology.
