Lunch 3 Lunch 4 Lunch 5
favourite lunch of the five on these pages! They didn’ t all care for the heart-shaped melon, half my kids like melon while half don’ t, but you could easily switch the melon out for another fruit. Inside the wraps I did light mayo, ham, grated cheese, grated carrot and lettuce. If you have a child that doesn’ t like carrot sticks I’ ve found grating a little into their sandwich is a simple way to sneak those carrots into their lunch.
Pizza Buns I’ d have to say that these homemade pizza buns take the number one spot for my kids favourite school lunch, ever! I shared this recipe back in March and its one of my most pinned blog posts. I love that these pizza buns can be made ahead and frozen which makes for a quick lunch anytime. I need to whip up another batch to have on hand in my freezer really soon! Read how to prepare these pizza buns and print the recipe here.
Butterfly Sandwich Nothing too complicated here, just a simple sandwich cut into the shape of a
butterfly. This was one of my preschoolers favourite lunches and it had everything to do with the cute sandwich shape I’ m sure! She likes Nutella sandwiches, for the other kids I did meat. You can find sandwich cutters all over the place.
Tuna Salad + Crackers This lunch was my preschoolers favourite which surprised me, she really liked dipping her crackers in the tuna. I used these mini dippers containers to include a little bit of tuna salad, along with crackers and cheese. Add a mini spoon for scooping the tuna and making mini cracker and tuna sandwiches or simply use the tuna for dipping. For a little bit of a variety I cut up watermelon into sticks and the kids thought that was fun.
That concludes a weeks worth of healthy lunch options … We hope that you can find a few ideas here that your children will love too! Lunch making is definitely one of those back to school challenges which get you yearning for the holidays again, but by adding these new favourites into the lunch menu mix you’ ll be well on our way to a fun and healthy school year!
