With the holidays behind us, it’s once again time for packing school lunches. Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and I have a sweet idea for a Valentine’s Day lunch for kids.
This simple, wholesome lunch is sure to be a hit with your kids.
A Valentine’s Day lunch is deserving of a special treat, so I included a Snack Pack, made with real nonfat milk and fortified with as much calcium as an 8-ounce glass of milk*.
What’s inside this Valentine’s Day lunch box?
Heart Shaped PB&J. I have yet to meet a kid who doesn’t love a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Use a heart shaped cookie cutter for the bread, and a smaller heart to make the peek-a-boo opening on one side to reveal a bit of the jelly.
Add some fruit. This lunch contains cubed honey dew melon and cantaloupe. Also, some strawberries were cut into halves. I used a knife to remove the stems and cut a v-shape into the top, to resemble hearts. Use whatever fruit you have on hand. A miniature heart shaped cookie cutter could even be used to cut your melon into hearts.
For an added touch, place a heart candy on top of the Snack Pack Pudding. I had to laugh when I came across this candy with #Love on it. Everything seems to have a hashtag these days!
Snack Pack® is a simple, wholesome snack that puts the fun back in your lunchbox with delicious flavors kids and adults enjoy, that’s easier than ever to enjoy thanks to a redesigned lid. The redesigned lids make the cups easier to open!
Pick up your Snack Pack in the baking aisle and head to www.SnackPack.com for more information.
That is very sweet – both figuratively and literally. If I were still in school, I’d ask my Mom to do this Valentine’s Day lunch and share this my crush. Lol. And, anyone would go bonkers over Snack Pack. I’ve loved it for as long as I can remember and now that I’m a grown-up, my brother and I still buy our Snack Packs.
This is so sweet! I love little Bento style lunches like this. Thanks for inspiring me to make a Valentines themed lunch for my boy.
My kids would love it if they opened their lunchbox and found a heart shaped sandwich. What a fun idea.
My kiddos don’t take their lunches to school anymore. Plus they’d probably kill me if I did this since they are in high school. However, doing it at home might make them smile.
OMG what a cute Valentine’s Day lunch…Thank you for sharing! <3
This is such a cute lunch! I love how everything is heart shaped, super cute and yummy! This is so creative!
What an adorable idea! I love it! I am going to bookmark this for two weeks form now
Oh what a great idea! That is cute. I actually have those same lunch box containers. Its very convenient for my kids lunches.
Ok, this is adorable and super simple! I could definitely do this! I love the sandwich and the strawberries!
What a great looking lunch for the kiddo’s. So healthy too. I like that it is so colorful. Kids seem to enjoy food much more when it has lot’s of color I have found.

My kids love Snack Pack Puddings! I think I love the tapioca ones the best though.
This is too cute. Love the set up and I must admit we are big Snack Pack fans around here. Delicious treats for afternoons with my little one.
My boys love PB & J! I think we will all enjoy this as a family lunch! <3
How cute the way you cut those strawberries. I am going to take your idea and use it. You pack a very cute lunch.
That’s the best Valentine’s Day sandwich I’ve ever seen. I want to make them for everyone in my family.
What an adorable post! If I had kids I would totally theme my kids lunches too for holidays!!
That’s adorable! I never made themed lunches for my kids, but it looks like I really missed out by not doing it.
Oh my gosh I wish I did this for my kids. I love that sandwich!!!
What a cute idea for a lunch! My boys would like this!
That sandwich is adorable! This whole lunch looks great my kids would love it all. So cute!
I love this cute idea! I pack my son’s lunch everyday and this is such a great way to celebrate Valentine’s Day!
This is such a cute lunch. I used to cut the kids sandwiches into shapes. I love the strawberry hearts.
OMgoodness…the strawberries cut to look like hearts are completely adorable. I would have loved having a lunch like that when I went to school.
That is so cute! My girls would feel so loved opening that up at lunchtime!
What a CUTE idea. I love all the hearts and such. This reminds me of when my mom used to put love notes in my lunch. She still does it when she packs a to go lunch for me when I come for a visit. Mom’s ROCK!
Cute lunch – sharing with Dawn. I know Isa would love this!
I think I may have a heart shaped cookie cutter. May have to make that for Valentine’s Day.
