Raspberry Muffins
Muffins are a treat in school lunch boxes. If your child is allergic to wheat, try using spelt flour instead of whole wheat. You may replace raspberries with blueberries, blackberries or raisins.
Oatmeal Cookies

Chocolate and Strawberry Sandwiches

Alphabet Soup
School lunches can be both fun and easy when you buy a special soup Thermos for your child. Brightly coloured Thermoses are available at most supermarkets and drugstores and come in children’s sizes.
