Are your kids tired of the same old lunch? Here are some great ideas that will make your kid think of you at lunchtime.
- Make the sandwich into a shape. Using a cookie cutter, cut the bread first and then fill.
- Get a thermos and fill with macaroni and cheese with veges in it. Or fill with their favorite soup.
- Forget the sandwich and pack cheese or salami cubes and whole wheat crackers.
- Pack banana, pumpkin, or zucchini bread.
- Make celery with peanut butter and raisins on it - Ants on a Log.
- If your child is a vegetarian, make a honey mustard and tomato sandwich.
- Use leftover French toast and make a ham sandwich.
- At my child's school, there is a kid who eats Sushi for lunch everyday. The kids are fascinated by the different shapes and colors.
- Try homemade salsa and vegetables cut into sticks.
- Have pita pizzas for dinner and make a few leftover for lunches.
- Make muffins ahead of time and keep in the freezer. They go straight from the freezer into the lunch box and they are thawed by lunchtime.
- Try an inside out sandwich. Lay a piece of turkey flat, then add cheese, tomato, and sauce. Roll it up and wrap the whole thing in a piece of lettuce, secure with a plastic toothpick.
