School Bus Trip Lunch Guide: Packing The Perfect Lunch

One of the highlights of the school year is when children go on a field trip. After all, this trip gives them a breathe of fresh air and a change of scenery which they need after spending long months inside the classroom, answering assignments, listening to teachers and watching movies. In addition to this, going on a trip is also a good way for them to learn things in a different way.

Before, packed lunch would mean a few crackers, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, chips, sodas or any canned beverages. Now, people are starting to be more health conscious. If you want your child to eat healthy foods, then you must give them a healthy packed lunch.

Here is a simple guide on how to do that.

ñ  Keep drinks and food cold.

Most field trips are done during the summer season. Because of this, you must consider the temperature shifts during the trip. The best thing that you can do is to freeze at least two water bottles and place it in a lunch box along with the food. This will surely keep the food cold and prevent it from spoiling. In addition to that, you must also add another frozen water bottle so that your child can stay cold and hydrated for the entire trip.

ñ  Avoid any food that easily gets spoiled.

Due to changes in temperature, there are foods that easily get spoiled. Lucky for you, there are lots of options that you can choose from. If you plan on giving him a sandwich, opt for a ham and cheese sandwich. Ditch the mayonnaise as this will cause the spoilage of the food. If your child wants something sweet, then go with the usual peanut butter with jelly.

ñ  Incorporate fruits and veggies.

To make the meal more healthy, it is best that you add some food items that will not easily spoil but will give them the nutrients that they need. Some of the best options that you have include fruits or any veggies like carrots, broccoli and many more.

ñ  Add a special touch.

To show your child how much you love him, then it would be best that you add a special touch to his packed lunch. You can try shaping the food items in a way that they would look like art. Many mothers are doing that today. Doing this will surely put a smile on your child's face. If you do not have excess time, you can just simply tuck a note in his lunch box.

A school bus trip may be fun but it can also get quite uncomfortable, especially for children. In addition to that, it can get quite tiring too. That is why healthy lunch must be included in your list of things to bring in a school bus trip.
