Want To Get Creative With Your Child’s School Lunches? Check Out These Adorable Themed Lunch Box Ideas
With the first day of school right around the corner, parents already have enough to worry about. So, instead of stressing about how to make your kids’ school lunches fun, one TikToker named Gabriella Mariposa has got you covered.
Her account is dedicated to creating countless genius lunch box meal ideas for kids of all ages and interests. So, let’s dive into a few that your kiddos will go nuts over– and actually finish!
If your child is fanatical about all things Harry Potter, then they are going to eat this lunch idea right up.
First, if you send your kid to school with a water bottle, you can take off the original brand label and replace it with a “Gillywater” label– just like what the wizards drink! Gabriella simply found her image online, printed it out, and taped it on.
Next, you can create some butter beer flavored-popcorn by just placing any store-bought popcorn in a bowl. Then, simply drizzle some butterscotch sundae topping over the popcorn and mix it well.
“If you like kettle corn, you will love this popcorn,” Gabriella said.
And for the main course, you can make your child any type of sandwich they love. Gabriella opted for turkey and cheddar. But, the most important part is that you should cut it into a triangle shape like the Deathly Hollows symbol.

Finally, you can also stick some pretzel sticks into pieces of cheese sticks to create brooms.
Gabriella even added a bunch of fruit that represented each of the four Hogwarts House colors and a chocolate-covered Pocky stick to represent a wand.
So, there is plenty of room to play around with the Harry Potter inspiration and make this lunch iteration your own!
If your daughter is an absolute girly girl, she is going to freak out over this entirely pink lunch box meal.
Plus, it is super easy to curate since the only prep you really need is to buy pink ingredients!
Gabriella opted to purchase pink-colored Goldfish, pink pudding, strawberry wafers, sliced radishes, and sliced pink lady apples.
Then, you can just assemble these snacks in different sections of your child’s lunch box.
Finally, for the main meal, Gabriella suggests creating a dragon fruit smoothie bowl. The final product is this gorgeous hot pink color– which you can top with more strawberries, flax seed, or any other ingredients your child loves!
This lunch idea will bring all of the lovable sci-fi magic from the big screen to life right in your child’s cafeteria.
First, you can make your child any sandwich that they know and love. Gabriella opted to create a turkey sandwich, but she cut it into circles and assembled it to look like BB8.
“I also used an edible marker and cheddar cheese to decorate it,” she explained.
Next, you can add in some carrot and celery sticks with small pieces of foil on the ends to create some adorable light sabers.
Then, for fruit, you can create a mixed berry salad. But don’t forget to cut out some mango stars to place on top! This will transform your fruit salad into an adorable night sky.
And finally, you can even add some Star Wars-themed Goldfish sold at most grocery stores, Star Wars fruit snacks, or a Wookie Cookie.
