For many kids, dipping makes everything better. Ensure that your child is eating their lunch at school by packing delicious, nutritious, dippable favorites.
The biggest obstacle to packing dippable foods is the potential for the dip to spill all over your child’s lunch box. That’s why you’ll love GladWare To Go Snack containers. These reusable plastic containers feature a separate dressing cup that snaps into the lid to keep foods secure and separated until your child is ready to start dipping.
Breakfast for lunch: French toast sticks and fruity dip
Who says French toast is just for breakfast? Pack your child’s lunch box with some French toast sticks and a container of marmalade for a nutritious and delicious dipping treat! Use microwavable frozen sticks or make a healthy dose of your own.
