Ideas and activities to spice up your family's lunch

by Tammie Thompson

Library Lunch
Choose a book as a theme. Create decorations and unique food to go with the theme. Ideas: Green Eggs & Ham, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, One Hundred Hungry Ants, Miss Spider's Tea Party, Feathers for Lunch.

Game Time
Prepare a pile of sandwiches, and then get down to some serious board games. Pull out the old standards: Monopoly, Clue, or Scrabble. Win gets a dessert treat.

Teddy Bear Picnic
Gather all the teddies in the house for a lunchtime picnic. Spread out a blanket, add doll furniture, mini plates and cups, and serve up a picnic even the bears will love!

Lunch Box Blues Get creative - have a contest to see who has the best ideas for lunch box fun. Award prizes to best ideas - then incorporate all ideas into daily lunch routines.

Indoor Picnic Raining outside? How about an indoor picnic? The kids love this one. Move furniture; lie out a picnic blanket, and get down on the floor to enjoy your picnic basket.
