Book Week Lunch Ideas: Sorted So You Can Focus on the Costumes
Book Week is… a LOT!
Between finding (or making) a costume, remembering the date, and getting everyone out the door, lunch always seems to slip our minds and we’re left rushing to order tuckshop.
So this week, let's take one thing off your plate.
We've pulled together simple, five minute lunch ideas to match some of the classic Book Week costume days.
The Blow-Up Dinosaur Costume
If your little one is stomping into school as a dinosaur for book week, lunch can roar right along with them.
Pop a dinosaur shaped sandwich cutter to work, heat up some dino nuggets, and you're done. A roar-worthy lunch, five minute prep.
Montii Tip💡Pack it in a Dinosaur Bento Two or Bento Five and pair with an Apple Mini Food Jar.

The Classic Construction Worker
Builders, diggers, tradies in training, whatever the costume, this lunch is ready for the job site.
Use a Construction Sandwich Cutter for sandwiches or cheese, and pack it straight into our Construction Lunch Bag. Simple, sturdy, and it looks like it means business, just like the costume.
Montii Tip💡The Construction Bento Five fits neatly inside the matching Lunch Bag, so little builders can carry their whole kit in one hand.

Fairytale Lovers
For the fairytale lovers finding new ways to bring their favourite characters to life each year, keep it simple with a heart shaped sandwich cutter.
A little heart in every bite, paired with our Sweetheart Lunch Bag, makes for a lunch that feels just as thoughtful as the costume looks.
Montii Tip💡 The Sweetheart Bento Two and Bento Five works perfectly alongside the matching Lunch Bag for a co-ordinated set.

The Unicorn Onesie
Pink, purple, sparkles, and a day full of magic. The unicorn onesie is a Book Week classic, so pack their lunch with a little extra magic.
Use a unicorn shaped cutter for sandwiches or fruit, then whip up a batch of homemade chocolate freckles the night before. Melt some chocolate, spoon it into small rounds on baking paper, scatter with sprinkles, and pop it in the fridge to set.
Adding a little magic to lunches, without the last minute stress.
Montii Tip💡 Our Unicorn Bento Five makes the perfect home for freckles, cut fruit and a sandwich all in one go.
Making Mornings Easier, One Day at a Time
Book Week doesn't have to mean choosing between a great costume and a great lunch. With a few simple items, you can tick off both without the morning scramble.
However your week is shaping up, we hope these ideas help take a little pressure off, so you can save your energy for the parts that matter most (like getting that costume on before the bell).
