20 Great Lunch Box Ideas for Kids

Monkey Business

Muffin Tin Mom features this fun idea for making a "5 Little Monkeys" numbers and counting-themed lunch -- and we like it so much, that this is actually the second time that we've featured it.

But regardless of our love for lunch box learning, this meal is a hands-down top pick for little ones. (They can count their way through lunch, all while singing the well-known numbers rhyme!) This muffin tin includes peanut butter roll-up and broccoli "trees," banana slices, five cheese cubes on food picks, baby carrot "alligator teeth," sprinkles hidden in monkey containers and a monkey face made with an orange, fruit leather and apple slices.
