School Lunch Ideas
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.
