Instructions

1. “Green Eggs and Ham”: Dye the peeled hard boiled eggs with green food coloring by placing them in a small resealable bag with a few drops of food coloring and gently massaging until evenly coated. Slice the eggs and arrange them with ham slices in a sandwich or separately.
2. “Cat in the Hat”: Use a string cheese stick as the base. Add thin slices of red bell pepper to create the hat’s stripes. You can stand it up in the lunchbox using a small piece of fruit or veggie as a stand.
3. “One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish”: Separate the goldfish crackers into orange and blue. Place them in separate small containers or snack bags. Add a container of cream cheese for dipping.
4. Assemble the Lunchbox: Arrange the themed components, along with fresh fruits, vegetables, and any other snacks your child enjoys.
5. Presentation is Key: Use fun containers or sandwich cutters to add extra flair. A simple note with a Dr. Seuss quote can also bring a smile to their face.
