Mollie Katzen on Back to School lunches for the little ones: "As the back-to-school season returns, making school lunches may seem like a chore. But packing a lunch can be a great way for busy parents and kids to enjoy a few minutes of fun together during routine evenings of homework, dinner, baths, and bedtime. Learning to cook at a young age also gives children confidence in the kitchen, a valuable asset for when they grow up. To make a peanut butter sandwich, toast bread if it is soft, then put it on a plate or cutting board. Let your young cook spread peanut butter with a plastic knife. Decorate with raisins or cover with sugarfree fruit spread. Or make "Bagel Face.s" Bagel Faces 1 medium-length, thin carrot, sliced into thin rounds tiny cherry tomatoes, whole or sliced in half black olives, sliced 1 small bell pepper, any color, thinly sliced alfalfa sprouts 1 very small cucumber, sliced into thin rounds Optional: grated carrot instead of sliced grated beets toasted sunflower seeds minced chives 1 small container whipped cream cheese 1 or 2 bagels cut in half Arrange the vegetables in small bowls on a table.
