1. Pack A School Lunch For Home – stick to your school lunch routine by packing your kids school lunch in their bento box or lunch box in the morning. Then encourage them to help themselves to a morning snack or lunch when they’re ready. They can eat in or outside while you enjoy some quiet time. 
   
   
2. BYO Hydration – ‘Mum/Dad, I need a drink”. If you've lost count how many times you’ve walked to the kitchen to get the kids a glass of water, try their school routine at home. Fill their reusable drink bottle (you or them) and leave in a designated spot so they can help themselves and stay hydrated all day long. 
   
   
3. Smoothie Time – fill their spill-proof drink bottle or a reusable smoothie cup with a healthy, home-made smoothie or juice, and let them venture into the garden or lounge room to enjoy without the mess. 
   
   
4. Stay Sun Smart – keep the sunscreen in a designated spot that’s easy for the kids to reach so they can slip, slop, slap before venturing out for a spot of play or exercise. And if safe to do so, same rule applies for insect repellent. 
   
   
5. Love Leftovers – if your family enjoys leftovers for lunch, be sure to store them in sealed food container or with a reusable food cover so they stay fresh longer. And save the dishes by using oven proof containers to reheat warm meals. 
   
   
6. Fun with Food – using your biscuit or sandwich cutters, let the kids cut some shapes out of their favourite melon or fruit and serve up a fun fruit salad for the family
