Answer 1

Here are a few things that my daughter has liked over the years...peanut butter and jelly roll up, turkey or other meat roll up with cheese and veggies.

Ants on a log, celery with peanut butter and raisons.

For halloween, an orange hollowed out with a cute face cut into it, add tuna to the inside of the orange. Send crackers to eat the tuna with and put the inside of the orange aside for desert.

Under the sea mac and cheese....mac and cheese with some frozen peas thrown in and gold fish cracker on top. You can throw in a hot dog split to look like an octopus.

There are all kinds of websites dedicated to good lunches for kids. Kraft foods is a good one.

Good luck!

Answer 2

My kids always took peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches. I put a jello cup in there with some carrot sticks and a muffin, and a bag of chips. They bought milk at school.

Answer 3

Try using wraps instead of bread for sandwiches. They look really neat and kids think they're fun to eat. You can make PB&J roll ups or PB and Banana roll ups. Just spread the fillings in the wrap, roll and slice. Lots of different fillings to use.

Answer 4

Bread Sticks
Cubes of cheese
Ham sandwiches - cut up small
Yoghurt pouches or tubes
Apple - slice up and squirt with lemon juice to stop it going brown.
Grapes - cut in half to avoid choking
Celery sticks/carrot sticks
Dried fruit - esp. raisins
Cubes of cooked chicken
Yoghurt drink
Mini sausages
Naan bread
2 digestive biscuits wrapped up in a food bag

Answer 5

turkey and cheese rollups, yogurt and fresh fruit, precooked chicken fingers and dipping sauce (don't worry if it not warm kids still love them), cut cheese and lunch meat into small shapes and send it with crackers to make mini bites similar to lunchables, pudding packs or jello cups( add an extra once in a while to share with a friend),

Answer 6

My daughter loves tuna in a little tupperwear with pickles. I usually put in a granola bar, yogurt raisins or banana chips, fruit snacks, applesauce, carrot sticks...

Answer 7

I make my kids lunch the night before and they have their own input on what to take. Then I make the final decision if it is heathly or not for them. They love making their own choices and even help make it too. Hope that helps. Good luck!
