I don't think that you can ever make too many The Nightmare Before Christmas recipes in the time period leading up to Halloween and finishing at Christmas. So go crazy. Make 5, 10, or even one every day. I guarantee that your kids won't mind either. I think this is my third of the season and I hope to make a couple more. 

This school lunch recipe includes Jack Skellington made from rice (with protein underneath), ghost chips on the side, and an Oreo cookie swirled mountain from the movie in the other side compartment. Keep reading to find out my tips on how to make this lunch for your kids.

Disney Halloween Mickey Mouse Ears Lunch Recipes

Halloween at Disneyland is amazing and if you've never been, I highly recommend it. The Oogie Boogie Bash is well worth the price. We were able to go a few years ago and made a ton of forever memories. However, whether we can visit Disney for Halloween or not, it's always fun to have a Disney Halloween lunch. Plus you only have to travel to the store to pick up the groceries, not all the way to southern California!

I made three different Mickey Ears Halloween sandwiches for my three kids but it also gives you options on what sandwich to make for your kids. Would they choose Frankenstein? The Mummy? or Maybe a Jack-o-Lantern? Keep reading to find out how to make them all!

The Nightmare Before Christmas Jack Skellington Food Art Lunch Recipe

Since The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of our favorite Halloween/Christmas movies, we have to do at least one Jack Skellington lunch recipe every year. This one is pretty simple because I was short on time. I think it would be fun for any kid that loves this movie!

Side note, I love all of the Halloween-themed snacks and treats in the stores right now. They make creating fun Halloween recipes really easy! I found these gummy vampire teeth at Target and they are pretty tasty. I might have had to sample one when I was making this lunch. I can neither confirm nor deny that. But while you figure that you, here is how to assemble this Halloween food art lunch for your kids. 

How to Make a Fall Winnie-The-Pooh Food Art Pizza School Lunch

Why does fall always remind me of Winnie-the-Pooh? I think it's the idea of a blustery day with fallen leaves blowing in a gust of wind. Or maybe it's Pooh with his red balloon or head stuck in a honey pot muttering, "Oh bother." Whatever the adventure in the Hundred Acre Wood, it always puts a smile on my face and takes me back to my childhood. This is why I love to make this simple Winnie-the-Pooh pizza for my kids because maybe it will put a smile on their faces also. 

Whoever your favorite character from the stories is, Pooh Bear is probably near the top. His lovable innocence and knack for getting himself into tight spots always leaves every reader saying, "silly old bear." If you think your kids will love an easy school lunch based on these books, movies, and T.V. shows, my directions are below.

How to Make a Musical Instrument School Lunch

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!

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!
