Thankfully, not much of the food was damaged, because the other items were in zip bags, but the juice boxes were free to fly around! I noticed something was wrong when my daughter had her lunch in a different plastic grocery bag at field trip time, which leads me to tip two.Ĭlearly marked information (name, class, allergens/lack of allergens)įor our family, food allergies are super important. Why so much plastic? What happened: My daughter tripped getting off the bus at school and the juice boxes I had packed pierced the brown bag AND the plastic shopping bag which sent her lunch flying across the sidewalk at school. Pack foods in a zip top bag, and then bag all that in a gallon size zip top bag.

I’ll call this a lesson learned from our own field trip fail. I am here to share some helpful advice while keeping it easy and food safe for everyone! I’ve had my own lunch fails too, but in the end the kids have a blast and it’s just one day so don’t stress! Pack it securely

Piece of cake right? I have been a chaperone on a few field trips over the years, and I have seen some fabulous lunches and some utterly fail lunches. So your kid is going on a school field trip or having field day and it is your mission to pack a completely disposable lunch.
