What to put in kids lunches that the day care and schools are allowing them to eat. Does anyone have any great ideas for school and day are lunches that are innovative and interesting for the kids.
They get bored quickly of the same old things all the time?
Try making normal sandwiches and use cookie cutters to shape them all funky, then use the left overs to feed ducks! Or just put new ingredients in their sandwiches, hummus etc. Try cutting veges into sticks like carrot and celery so they can nibble away. Bake slices so they can have a treat. Make 'sandwich sushi', cut off the crusts and make one piece of bread up with a spread, then roll, just like sushi. Stick stuff like cream cheese, carrot and sultanas in it too. Get funky! Make a fruit kebab for their kai. I hope one or two of these ideas start off some creativity!
I sometimes roll my sons sandwiches then actually allowing to be flat, like asparagus rolls, except with meat n cheese with sauce.... I also use round wraps?, he loves those something diffrent, and he just fills it with what he likes..been popular amongst his mates... I also make sure i bake something with him once a week to put in his lunch box.... And his school mates hang over him like flies...*lol* My sons school is lucky to get the export fruit, so i don't put that in his lunch box... Just a saving....on my budget However on cold days i always make a batch of noodles and my son takes them to school inside a lil flask, which i got second hand. Or it will be a small serving of Macaroni and cheese.... Now and again he will ask for cheese toasties and he loves it with a lil pottle of sauce... I used to make his own jelly i brought the pottles from what was the two dollar shop to take to school due to chronic asthma and lesssning him on Dairy yoghurts, but the school kicked up a fuss....which wasnt necessary..and they kept taking it off my son... Im due to start doing that again soon after the new principal comes along next week! I'll post some recipes in here later!
