    Have your kids started school yet? My kids start in a few weeks and I have already starting thinking about some school lunch ideas to fill up their lunchboxes. My kids tend to have the same sandwich every day, but this year I want to switch things up a bit. Luckily, I discovered all sorts of sandwich and lunchbox inspiration. If you are looking for new ways to enjoy a sandwich, you will love this post on school lunch ideas.

    These School Lunch Sandwich Ideas have helped me add some variety to my kid's lunch each day.

    School Lunch Ideas

    Make a Fairy Sandwich from Kids Activities Blog
    The dash of sprinkles in this sandwich make it oh so magical!

    Heart Sandwich from Meaningful Mama

    Fun School Bus Sandwich from 3 Boys and a Dog

    Minion Sandwiches from Eats Amazing

    Pinwheel Sandwiches from Frugal Family Home
    There are so many fillings use can use with the fun pinwheel sandwiches.

    To bring some variety to lunch, I use cookie cutters to cut my kids sandwiches into fun shapes.

    I also like to add my own personal  lunchbox note. I love to include lunch notes because kids get a special reminder that they are loved and special during their day. Who wouldn't like to be reminded of that? A simple note can turn around a bad day and put a smile on a child's face. I just used the same cookie cutter I used on the sandwich to make my lunchbox note. I traced the cookie cutter onto brown construction paper, cut it out and wrote a fun message on it.
