Halloween Lunch Box Printables

When can you serve the Halloween lunch box?

If you are someone who's organized, especially on time management, you might follow the date when it is a week before Halloween, which is October 31st. But, you are free to serve the Halloween-themed lunch box on regular days, even outside Halloween and autumn seasons.

Some people enjoy decorating the kids' lunch box with characters, and ghosts, witches, and monsters can take up the theme for the day. Not only is it delicious and healthy but also boosts up the kids' appetite with a happy feeling.

How to plate up a healthy Halloween lunch box?

Being healthy is not only beneficial for your body but also for the environment. Most lunch boxes are made of plastic. Some mothers, too, will choose the quick preparation, which is with ziplock and plastic. Here are the ideas to plate up the Halloween lunch box that is good for the earth and your body.

Choose the right lunch box

It is preferable to choose a box that is made of organic and recyclable materials. But, if it is hard to find one in your area, you can choose any type of base material of the box, as long as it is food grade. 

There are boxes that are apart from one container to another and ones that are with segments. Whichever you choose, make sure it fits with your kid's lunch portion too. 

Pick the healthy and nutritious ingredients

You are going to serve the lunch box for children. They need more and more nutritious and healthy foods rather than the ones to just fulfilling the stomach. A combination of fiber, vitamins, and carbohydrates is one of the options that you can pack with fruits, pudding, and rice. 

Select the Halloween themes

Now, it is time to pack the lunch box with style. You can discuss the theme with them or might as well find the inspiration from the internet. These days, many mothers use their spare time to share Halloween lunch box ideas, along with the ingredients. 

Whose faces can we draw for the Halloween lunch box?

Skull

Use a knife to cut the bread into a skull. There you go, a sandwich with a skeleton face. You can add a crumb of oreo next to it, so it looks like the soil of the graveyard. 

Bat

There is a bowtie pasta made of squid ink you can modify as a bat to the lunch box. To add more darkness, the fruit is blueberry.

Mummy

Banana is one of the kids' favorite fruits. You can wrap the banana with a white thin fabric like a paper towel into a mummy. 

Jack-o’-Lantern

Halloween is always associated with this one figure. See, orange can be the alternative as the small size of Jack-o'-Lantern that you can eat at lunch. 

What are some ideas to make a cute Halloween cutlery?

Any child will grin when they see this easy Halloween lunch hack using ghost cutlery. With one hand, keep your plastic cutlery upright while using the other to spread out and cover it with a white paper napkin. Make eyes using a black marker and tie a colorful ribbon or twine around the neck. Don't forget to write some spooky lunch notes too!

How can you eat a monster-looking snack?

Your snack can be looking directly at you if you look at it closely. Adding marshmallow eyeballs makes it simple to give a snack pack a different identity. Your preferred snack should be placed around halfway inside a transparent plastic bag.

Place two marshmallows in the bag with their tops snugly pressed against the plastic, followed by firmly pressing a chocolate chip into each marshmallow. Your snack should take up the remaining space in the bag. Last, tighten the bag.

How can you make simple Frankenstein milkshakes for Halloween?

These Frankenstein Milkshakes are the ideal Halloween gift if you're searching for a no-bake recipe this year. You can make these with ingredients you already have at home in just a few minutes. They are made with mint chip ice cream and feature a drip-cake effect on the rim.

What you'll need:

• Milk with Mint Chip Ice Cream
• Green food coloring
• Dark chocolate
• Glass or plastic cups that are clear
• Permanent Black Marker

 

Directions:

1. Melt the chocolate first. Heat chocolate in the microwave at 50% power while stirring until smooth. For a comparable result, you may use chocolate chips or chocolate fudge.
   
   
2. Pipe cups with chocolate. The melted chocolate should be poured into a plastic bag, with one corner cut off. To produce the illusion of chocolate dripping around the cup's edge, pipe the chocolate with greater pressure in some spots.
   
   
3. Sketch a face. Draw the eyes and lips once the chocolate has dried using a permanent black marker, sometimes known as a Sharpie. Sharpies are wonderful for use on glass since they can be quickly removed by going back over the markings with a dry-erase pen.
   
   
4. Mix the milkshake. Once the cups are prepared, just combine the milk, mint chip ice cream, and a few drops of green food coloring in a blender to make the milkshakes. These would also be interesting to create with lime sherbet, or you could dye or flavor white ice cream and incorporate Oreos or other toppings.
