10 Easy Halloween Lunch Box Ideas for Kids

The Halloween season is in full swing. And come the big day, your kids will be decked out in their silly or creepy Halloween costumes, your house will be decorated and the amount of sugar everyone consumes will be over-the-top. So why not try and get your kids to eat a halfway decent lunch before they fill up on chocolate and caramel the rest of the day? There are some really fun Halloween lunch box ideas out there that don’t focus on dessert. Spider shaped sandwiches, mummified milk boxes and ghost-like mozzarella sticks are just a few examples of Halloween lunch box ideas that will please your kids.

Most of these ideas are pretty quick and easy too, which is a bonus if you’re like me and put together lunch at the last minute.
