Start the year off with less stress by delegating some kitchen work. Today I’m at Kitchen Stewardship sharing ten mason jar lunches your kids can make by themselves.
No hiding from it now. The new year is here.
That means it’s time to get back on track with healthy eating! One very important part of that is teaching your children what real, nourishing food is and why it is important.
In my experience the best way to teach your kids about good food is by letting them help prepare it!
Ready to start delegating that task? Here are ten lunch components kids can make by themselves. As an added bonus you won’t hear any complaining about boring or gross lunches. Kids can’t complain if they choose and pack their own lunch!
Take one more item off your to-do list with these fun, healthy and simple mason jar lunches that kids can make (using glass or plastic containers).
VEGGIES WITH DIP
Add sour cream and your choice of seasoning to a jar (we like sea salt, garlic powder and dill weed). Put the chopped vegetables on top. No need for separate containers. The veggies are already in the dip and ready to go.
Fun and easy finger food. Perfect for a school lunch.

Super fun 🙂
That’s a great list, Mary! My kids are the same, they love making their own lunches (my 3-year old is a master smoothie maker – haha). I’m pretty sure they’re never too young to learn!
Thanks so much for sharing this at Savoring Saturdays!
Thanks, Raia! That’s so great that your 3 year old is already making smoothies. Kids can do amazing things at any age.
This is so fun! I love having kiddos get involved in making their own food. So cool. Thanks for sharing this with us at Savoring Saturdays linky party. Hope you’ll join us again this week.
