(Family Features) Making sure kids get balanced and nutritious school lunches and after-school snacks doesn't have to be hard. In fact, it can be fun.
Parents can ensure kids get a lunch that's good for them -- and that they'll eat -- by making it themselves with products they trust. All Boar's Head Brand® deli meats and cheeses are gluten free, and there are dozens of lower sodium and heart-healthy options to choose from, as well. No matter what your health priority, you can rest assured your family is in good hands with Boar's Head.If your child leaves most of his or her sandwich behind, use cookie cutters to create a favorite shape such as an airplane, car, star or heart. The fun shape might encourage your child to finish the entire sandwich. A colorful selection of food and different texture adds appeal -- carrot sticks and green grapes for color, whole wheat pretzels and crackers for crunch. Put a surprise in your child's lunch: a sticker, a note of encouragement, or a small toy. Children love the do-it-yourself aspect of building their own pizza or making their own cracker stack. You can make the experience fun and healthier by cubing Boar's Head meats and cheeses and putting them in a bag along with some low-salt crackers. Roll Boar's Head meats and cheeses for dipping into condiments -- it will make a hungry child happy and keep them satisfied until dinner time.Another fun idea is to start a family food album where you and your kids keep track of the foods that provide nourishment and the ones that offer little or no nutritional value. Have your kids cut photos of food and nutrition labels making note of those foods that are considered healthy and those that are not. Your kids will learn about healthy eating and enjoy fun arts and crafts projects, too.Here are some simple tips from Boar's Head for lunches and munches kids will love:About Family Features Editorial Syndicate This and other food and lifestyle content can be found at www.editors.familyfeatures.com .

Plus, the resort has partnered with Nickelodeon for the Kids Stay, Play and Eat FREE promotion. Nickelodeon's hit preschool series Bubble Guppies will be featured through August as part of Barcelo Hotels & Resorts "All-Inclusive Summer Adventure" promotion at its Mexico resorts. The popular Kids Stay, Play and Eat FREE promotion is also available through Oct. 31 for children under 12 and includes free nightly rates, daily meals, and planned activities for up to two children staying with two adults. These offers can be combined, making for an unbelievable value on an all-inclusive beach getaway packed with fun for couples or the whole family.Another recourse to put into play, if the option is available, is to insert proper image placement. A picture is worth a thousand words, and when put in the correct place it can sell your product or service for you. Always try to put your picture to the right of your text. People read left to right, so if at the end of a line about your heavenly chocolate chip dough you place a mouth watering picture of scrumptious chocolate chip cookies you will draw your reader in, tantalizing them with the picture.A very important ingredient to creating a successful promotion is to supply your potential customer with a promotion that is related to what they are looking for. Nothing is more irritating to a potential client than to click the submit button to find a desired product only to be let down by a million things they are not looking for. If you sell cookie dough, and your client types in chocolate chip cookies so they can order some fantastic sweet dough and instead get a page on cookie cutter specials and organic sugar they will be sadly disappointed and probably move on to a site that gives them what they want. Do not promote chocolate chip cookie dough if you do not plan to deliver on your promotion. Make sure you use the right keywords for your product, and even more importantly make sure you have the correct information on the promotion page itself.
