I thought we could tell each other what we put in our children's lunch boxes for school. My little girl isn't keen on meat and she doesn't eat eggs or cheese so the only sandwhiches she eats are strawberry jam,which was fine at playgroup but for school 5 days a week I think I'll need to vary what she has. I'll give her fruit,yogurts,raisins, stuff like that. But was wondering what other savoury options you guys could think of and what you all put in for your little ones?
Thanks guys xx
I do sandwiches and fruit and some type of snack thing... sometimes leftovers from dinner the night before. She's provided with snacks at school so I only have to worry about a lunch time snack. We're going this weekend to pick out a new lunch box for Aaralyn as she's been "plastic bagging" it this week

my eldest jami would only eat jam sandwiches and she had them everyday for years lolol. still does, but i do manage to get cheese in there instead sometimes lolol
she has as will catherine. sandwich, squeezy yoghurt (frubes) fruit, bag of crisps, cake (usually a swiss rol) and either raisins, carrot sticks or cucumber sticks.
Havent got to the luch box thing yet, but am lucky because kyle will eat more or less anything in a sarnie, but few ideas paste(loads diff flavours) marmite(aquired tatse but very healthy) marmalade (change from jam ) peanut butter , plain salad, all i can think of atm but will have another think see if i can come up with anything else.

I know a boy who had tomato sauce sandwiches for lunch for over 5 years!!!
Try things on wraps or in pitta bread instead (add cucumber sticks etc to them)
Some cooked mini sausages
cant think (joseph is a good eater)
PS Girls- do you know those yoghurt tubes have nearly 5 teaspoons of sugar in them!!!
Becky is usuall quite good for lunch.
Cant give any nuts or sweets.
Sandwiches- likes cheese,cheese spread, jam or ham.
Raisen or grapes.
Capri sun or NAS squash
Apple or Banana
Petits filous yoghurt/jelly or low fat rice pudding pot.
Cheese curls
Cheese strips.
Not sure what else to put in.

We get the Yeo Valley ones as they don't contain the nasties that other brands have. I'm off to check the sugar content though!
