In honor of my youngest daughter’s first day of preschool today, I have a super duper exciting back-to-school giveaway for y’all! Leah is 3 1/2, and she could not be more excited about going to school. Although it is just two days a week, she feels like a big girl, just like Sara.
She had her backpack ready to go, nap mat freshly washed, and an adorable new outfit from Gymboree (got it on clearance, with a coupon-score!) Unfortunately, her home-packed lunch was a royal flop. She simply decided not to eat the turkey sandwich and sliced apples that were lovingly packed by her Daddy this morning.
To help make school lunches a little bit more fun, Walmart, Smuckers, Motts and Pepperidge Farm have joined together to create LunchboxBuilder.com, a fun site where users can design their own lunchbox — complete with materials, colors and decals. You can print out your design and also add it to the gallery, where other visitors will vote on their favorite design, and the winners will receive an amazing prize package worth over $150!
One lucky Keeping the Kingdom First reader will also win one of these awesome prize packages! It includes:
- iPod Shuffle (color may vary)
- Insulated lunchbox
- Sharpie pens in multiple colors
- Crayola Colored pencils
- Smuckers Uncrustables container
- Optical mouse
- Smuckers belt pack
- Motts reusable shopping bag

Congrats to commenter #48- Jenni!! She said: Our kiddos have really loved their sandwiches cut into shapes with cookie cutters. They love pitas or wraps…they feel grown up. They love caramel dip for their apples & ranch for their carrots. And they love notes from Mommy and Daddy (@ least I’m believing, unless I’m told otherwise!)!
Good luck, and thank you for entering!

I just saw a neat recipe that looks like it would be healthy and could be fun to make. Mix 1/4 cup of healthy peanut butter with 1 Tbsp of honey, set aside. Core an apple and slice into thick slices and put in a bowl of ice water with 1 tsp of lemon juice to keep from browning. Pat dry the slices and spread the peanut butter mixture on one side of a slice and sprinkle with dried cranberries (I think you could use raision too if you would like) then top with another apple slice. Let your daughter help with any of those steps you think she could handle.
To keep lunches fun, I often cut my son’s sandwiches into fun shapes with cookie cutters. He loves dipping, so we experiment with that. Yogurt or cream cheese dips for fruit, something more savory for veggies, etc. He also likes it when we make a rainbow of food, a great way to get extra fruits and veggies in.
