The secret to perfect school lunches

is isn't just well cooked food

but also its captivating presentation.

Kids love to eat if their meals are innovative n different.

You'l be amazed how a boring parantha ( tortilla)

or a sandwich will get gobbled up

when shaped into a flower or a cartoon.

If you struggle early in the morning

to fix the daily lunch box(or are unable to make

decorative bentos) for your little one

then these ideas will surely help .......
