Estimated time to complete recipe:
For a whole lunch and snack : around 6-9 min.

Description of lunch box recipe:
Sandwich wrap , smore trail mix, fruit, SUPRISE-your special suprise treat, fruit, water

Directions:
This may seem like a lot but it is easy as pie.

1) Take a tortilla and put your child's favorite sandwich spread on it (ham and cheese or my daughter's favorite, low fat cream cheese, jelly and peanut butter). Roll it up and wrap in foil.

2) Put teddy grahams, chocolate chips, and minnie marshmallows in a zip lock bag. (Great for snack time, label snack pack.)

3) Fruit can be cut up, left whole, mixed, make it easy for you and your kid.

4) Add a surprise treat.

5) Pour iced water in a water bottle or thermos, add a little bit of fresh lemon, orange juice, or other fruit taste to the water to make flavored water.

Other suggestions and comments:
This was for my 6 year old daughter, Anna, who is a picky eater may I add.

Remember, tiny servings for tiny kids. Half a wrap is enough for Anna. A snack is supposed to be portioned small, maybe a little less than a handful of trail mix.

***SUPRISE: a cup cake (cut it in between the top and bottom and put the bottom over the top so the frosing is sandwiched there for staying on the cup cake) or some pudding mixed with a suprise like candy, cereal, or nuts.

Don't forget a special note on pretty napkin (just a "love ya", "special girl u are", or even a simple heart will do).
