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 !
