Do your kids play a musical instrument? My daughter started out playing the flute in sixth grade, then in seventh grade, she switched to the saxophone. She has been playing it ever since and loves it. In fact, this year as a freshman in high school she started marching band. How come no one told my wife and me that this takes as much of a time commitment as being on the football team? We love watching her play though and now my son is in the sixth grade playing the trumpet. Because of this, I figured it was definitely time to make a musical instrument lunch!

 This is a sponsored post in partnership with Red Sun Farms. All opinions are my own.

There aren't many insects as magical as ladybugs. And there isn't anything much more magical at lunchtime than when your kid eats all of the food in their lunchbox. For those of you parents who need a little more magic in your life this school year, this lunch is for you. Not only will your kids love the look and taste of the Red Sun Farms Tomato Ladybugs, but you will love that they are eating their fruits and vegetables!

Our family is a huge fan of all of Red Sun Farms delicious tomatoes, but I personally appreciate the convenience of these organic grape tomatoes. We pick them up at our local grocery store and usually have a container open on the countertop. They make for a quick and tasty snack as I'm walking through the kitchen but are also fantastic to easily include in a school lunch like we've done here in this post. There's really no wrong way to use them. So here is how to create this food art ladybug lunch so that your kids can enjoy them at school!

Roblox School Lunch Recipe Ideas!

 

I have a confession. I don't know much about Roblox. Most of what I know comes from what my sons tell me because they want to play it any chance that they get. Mostly they just play with their cousins. So this lunch took quite a bit of Google homework to accomplish. It actually might have taken longer to research Roblox characters and items than actually making the lunch! 

How to Make a Marvel Loki From Disney+ Lunch!

 

My family has been going non-stop lately. However, one thing that we've made some time for is watching Loki on Disney+. I'm not saying that we watched it every week, we definitely fell behind, but we made sure to finish the season because it was so good! It was definitely full of twists and turns and my kids were begging for it every week. Since back-to-school time is here, I knew I had to make them a fun Loki food art lunch to celebrate our favorite series of the summer. 

Loki is probably their favorite Marvel villain. Wait, is he still a villain? I guess we will have to see in season two. You have probably noticed by now that this lunch isn't Tom Hiddleston who plays Loki. This lunch features one of our favorite variants...Alligator Loki! This Loki variant was a hilarious surprise and a character that I hope returns. But until then, you will have to make the alligator sandwich for your kids. Here is how to do it.
