Consider - School rules and guidelines. Schools may have specific guidelines about items that can be brought to school, including lunch boxes and bags. You should also be very clear about food allergy policies, which may not allow items with nuts, (like but not limited to peanut butter), to be brought in.
 
Consider - Finding an item with a favorite character or color on it, and buy 2 for each child. (If you have to wash one out, you wonąt be stuck without a backup!) Know - What time your child will eat lunch, and plan on packing food safely - using a small cold pack, in a plastic bag (because they get wet as they defrost), to keep cool foods cool.
 
Find out - If older children (middle and high school) have access to a microwave and can bring frozen items like Healthy Choice meals, or Amy's pockets to school. They may need a plate for their item packed.
