Lunchbox!

I'm getting bored making DD's lunch each day. I feel like I'm giving her the same things all the time and I really don't want her to be fussy like me!!!

What do you put in your kids lunch boxes for daycare?

I'm having the same problem with lunches. We do cheese on toast with marmite (cold), a quartered plain pita bread, raisins, a squeezy Olny Organics fruit sachet (he's 18 mos, but loves them), bobby bananas, tomorrow I'm going to make some cheese muffins because he loves those too ... erm ... cheese sammies with Vogels bread (he loves it), I made a cheese and ham toasted pita that barely got touched the other day (mind you, he's been teething on the sly, so it might have been that) ... ahhh ... Yep. We're pretty boring here too!! I have to get loads of cheese into him though because he doesn't drink milk, and he's still not feeding himself well enough for me to send him with a yoghurt, because he needs help with that.

Sorry - not very helpful!

Send the yoghurt anyway, then they can clean up the mess! lol Daniel wasnt good at yoghurt or spoon feeding himself but they are use to the mess there and he can learn from watching all the other kids

i kind of only have 2 options cos im lazy and dont really let mack have any packaged food so our options are

1: cheese on toast with marmite
banana
raisins
yogurt

2: tomato pasta bake
carrots
cut up peices of peach and pear

when at home we also gives him prunes, dried apricot, grated apple, chunks of cheese, ham, veggie mis (carrot, coli, brocolli), cruskets, rice crackers, left over dinner etc...

In addition DS likes some of the off season tinned fruit for a change
and baked muffins, savoury scones - u can make the mini muffins
left over roast potato lol

Im glad they feed our kids .. I have a hard enough time thinking of what to put in Dh's lunchbox.

* Pikelets are good, I often make a batch and freeze them. Pop it in Jack's lunchbox before kindy and it's thawed by morning tea time
* Mousetraps
* Different crackers - rice crakers, cruskits, rice thins, Shapes
* Mother Earth Fruit sticks
* Creamed Rice
* Dried fruit - apricots, apple slices/rings

Dani - some new things Ryan's just discovered are surimi (the imitation crab stuff) and sliced black olives. Depending on if your daycare will let you take egg things you could send leftover fritatta as well. Marshmellows as a sweet treat now and then. Slightly boiled apple with a bit of butter and cinnamon and cardamon coated on it.
