Lunch Box Ideas for Halloween!

Halloween is just around the corner, and it's the perfect time to get creative with your little one's school snacks. Whether you're planning a classroom party or just want to make lunchtime extra special, get our top tips on how to assemble a ghoulishly good bento box.

1. Creepy Babybel Monsters:
Babybel cheeses are not only great source of protein for your kids, but adding some creative touches can make them look like edible monsters. Here's how to make them:
- Use a small paring knife to carve out some spooky faces in the signature red wax. Think triangular eyes, crooked grins, and pointy noses. (We've added on candy eyes with a blob of icing).

2. Spiderlicious Oreos:
Turn those classic Oreo cookies into creepy-crawly Spider Oreos:
- Take regular Oreo cookies and twist them apart.
- Place pretzel sticks (thin, preferably) into the creamy filling to create spider legs. You'll need eight legs for each spider.
- Place the top cookie back on, securing the pretzel legs in place with a dab of icing or peanut butter.
- Finish by adding two small candy eyes using a bit of icing as "glue."
- Arrange the Spider Oreos in another compartment of your Bento Box.

3. Healthy Haunting Pumpkins:
Create the ultimate pumpkin vibe with these super easy mandarin 'pumpkins'.
- Simply peel off the outer layer 
- Using a portion of your stick pretzel, add a 'pumpkin' stem

4. Cucumber Ghosts:
A great way to get the kids excited about veggies is by creating these cute little cucumber ghosts 
- Slice a cucumber in half and then thinly slice lengthways. 
- Carefully using a knife, slice out three triangles side by side from the bottom half of the cucumber (not the rounded end)
- Then using a straw, poke out two holes towards the rounded end to look like eyes. 

5. Spooktacular Sandwiches:
- Create a fun twist on the classic sandwich by cutting your sandwich into 4 mini squares and stacking them on top of each other to look like  mummy. For the bigger kids, you can add a skewer to ensure the mini sandwiches stay in place!
