If your art — like mine — is more of the stick-figure variety ... that's fine too! It's the thought that counts, right? Even a simple "I love you" with a heart on a brown bag, or a funny joke written on the side of a bag can go a long way to making your kid's day.
3. Make silly sandwiches for the Bento box
Do you have a picky eater? We know packing school lunches can be a PITA — and we don't mean the pocket bread kind! Bento boxes could be the answer because even a picky eater can't resist a cute sandwich! It just takes a minute or two to create a fun lunch that will make a child giggle — a swipe of the knife or a cookie cutter and some cleverly placed additions (that stay in place with the help of toothpicks) will do the trick!
