Halloween Lunch Box Idea

Posted:10/19/21
Updated:7/20/22

Easy Halloween lunch box idea with spooky eyeball pasta, ghost tortillas, pumpkin oranges and ghost cheese sticks. This will make your kids day!

Halloween Lunch Box

Ok, our family loves Halloween, so I couldn’t resist making a cute little Halloween lunch box. This entire lunch idea is quick and easy to put together, but will leave your kid smiling when they open it up. My daughter loved this so much I even made it for her for dinner one night and she still can’t stop talking about it. 🙂

These were made in our Planetbox lunch boxes which have become a favorite in our house. I even use one to bring my own lunch to work as it keeps food hot for a long time, so I don’t have to deal with heating up food. If you’re looking for a new lunch box, I really suggest these as they’ll last forever!

Below I’ll break each section up.

Spooky Pasta with Eyeballs, this is really just spaghetti with pesto, but I added candy eyeballs on top to make it look a little bit more spooky.

Using a cookie cutter, I cut ghosts out of tortillas. For their eyes and mouth, use a knife or scissors.

Oranges look just like pumpkins when they have a piece of celery on top!

Grab a cheese stick, and draw a face on it with marker. Now you have a cheese ghost!

And it wouldn’t be Halloween with some type of treat, so add a few pieces of candy – maybe candy corn, M&Ms, skittles, etc.

I hope you liked this simple Halloween lunch box idea! Happy Halloween everyone! 🙂
