Adding a little something fun — like a note, sticker or drawing — can brighten a child’s lunchtime and make the experience feel special. ⭐💛

💛 A reminder for parents and carers
Every lunchbox reflects a family’s culture, resources, time and preferences — and that’s okay. Lunchbox packing isn’t about perfection.
Whether it’s a simple sandwich or speedy leftovers, what matters most is that children feel supported and enjoy their food. Together, we can help families feel confident and create pressure free, enjoyable lunchbox moments.

School holidays are full of energy—keep yours up with smart snack choices!
Choosing nutrient-rich options can help you and the kids stay fuelled, wherever your adventures take you.
Our top picks for healthy, on-the-go snacks:
✅Veggie sticks & hummus: Pre-cut carrots, cucumber, capsicum, or cherry tomatoes with a side of hummus or cottage cheese make a crunchy, satisfying snack.
✅DIY trail mix: Mix raw nuts (like almonds or walnuts), seeds (pumpkin or sunflower), and a few dried cranberries for a power-packed bite.
✅Hard-boiled eggs: Prep a batch at the start of the week for a quick, protein-rich snack.
✅Apple slices & nut butter: Pair apple slices with peanut or almond butter for a classic combo of fibre and protein.
✅Low-fat yoghurt cups: Choose plain, low-sugar yoghurt and add your own fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds for extra goodness.
✅Tinned fish & wholegrain crackers: Tuna or salmon in spring water (no added salt) is a great protein option that doesn’t need refrigeration.
Planning ahead and keeping these snacks handy can help you make healthier choices, even on the busiest days.
