Could you suggest any kid friendly lunch ideas?

Question

I'm looking for any ideas that I could make for lunch for us that's easy and doesn't take long to make. Thanks in advance :)

Answer 1

instead of bread for a sandwich, how about lunch meat and cheese roll ups on tortillas
Pita pocket sandwiches
My son loves mini meatballs
Pasta salads
Casseroles like cheesy broccoli chicken -- a favorite of my son

Toddlers like anything they can pick up in their hands and eat themselves.
Fruit slices or chunks
Chunks of cheese
cute cut-out sandwiches

Answer 2

Whatever you fix, let the child help out. They'll eat better if they were part of fixing it. Carrot sticks, celery sticks, pb&j cut into shapes, tuna sandwiches, mini pizzas, corn dogs, french fries...most can be made in a short amount of time. Check on Rachel Ray's website for kid friendly meals too. One of my kids favorite snacks, for that once in awhile special thing, is candy sushi.

Answer 3

Depending on the age of child i always found that kids like cut up fruit what ever they like, if the child is old enough to help you will find that the will enjoy eating it as the feel that they made their lunch themselves and its a good way to get fruit in to them

Sandwiches are good if yoru child will eat them. If you child is like mine she likes something one day and then the next she won't like it.
