These easy, clever ideas will brighten their lunch or after-school snack, guaranteed. Start by switching out the bread in their favorite sandwich for a St. Patrick's Day-ready spinach wrap, then pack one (or all!) of the following snacks. Each one is super portable and sure to delight the wee ones in your life-come lunchtime, they'll feel like they just came across a pot of gold. Peter Ardito TRICOLOR CRUNCH Salute the Irish flag with clover-shaped cucumber crisps, carrot and celery sticks, and DIY ranch dip. Cutting the cucumbers into clovers is a cinch, and there's something about fun shapes that makes kids want to eat their vegetables. Pack the dip in a separate tin, or use it as a schmear for a wrap or sandwich and let the kids enjoy the veggies solo.

Peter Ardito PURE GOLD Pinches of turmeric (they won't taste it, we promise) and cinnamon give this frothy hot white chocolate its end-of-the-rainbow hue. Pour the cocoa into a thermos so it stays nice and hot until lunchtime. Bonus: grown-ups will also love the flavor (and the anti-inflammatory properties of the spices!).
