Here is another wrapper free lunch box idea – Tuna and Zucchini Slice

The craft activities continue to be the most popular thing to do at Playgroup; it really is fantastic to see what our little people can create! It is also a great activity to do with their adults. We had felt pictures out as well. The kids loved it (I remember loving fuzzy felt when I was a child!).
