Yogurt and fruit, crackers and cheese with deli meat, salad with dressing on the side,a cold pasta dish. I assume you put an icepack or frozen drink in it so anything that is eaten cold could be included.
Gosh, same old same old ... pretty boring! Toast with either polony or cheese together with a fruit, a few biscuits and 2 juices. Fridays, it's tuck money.
sandwich - turkey, ham, bologna or PB&J
fruit - apple, pear
snack - cheese crackers, granola bar
juice box
Nothing! Those lousy ingrates can eat the other children's left overs!
Here where we live we have grocery stores. You wouldn't believe the variety of items they have there. If you have one of these stores in your area you should go with your children and see what they like.
A Kitkat, A Hersheys Bar, Some Cake, A Chocolate Milk Shake And For Desert I Usually Give Him A Bar Of Polos.
juice, fruits, and the main course is always something good n FULL.
just out of the blues e.g. roast chicken legs on herbal cooked rice, grilled salmon steaks on pasta.
but never ever simple ham sandwiches unless they're 3 layered roast beef sandwitch something like that.
pls give good food for your child so he can have something to look forward to at lunch. he will do better at school trust me on this one.
My child!!!(JOKING)
I often do a salad/cold pasta.
I buy pitta bread slice through the mid to make a pouch&get my son to stuff it with the things he likes,cause then hes more likely to eat it,if he thinks he made it himself!
Main part is either a sandwich or a wrap. Included is a variety of fresh vegetables (carrots, celery, raw broccoli), cut small, with a little bit of Ranch dressing, and some fresh fruit. Milk, bottled fruit juice or bottled water are included.
Children help pick out lunchmeats at the grocery store; tuna or chicken salad made at home one day are for lunch the next. Family wrap sessions are fun and the kids are more apt to eat them if they've made them for themselves or for each other---we even got a few soy bean sprouts into some wraps in a creative session!
Including only a single vegetable, or a couple of each of a variety, with ranch dressing for dipping has been a surefire way to get those vegetables eaten! (We're starting to try some other "dips" now, maybe working towards some hummus and couple of pita pieces to be included.)
Any supper leftovers that the kids really liked and will eat cold are good choices for the next day lunch---they like cold pizza, so if you've bought pizza, or made one, put aside a slice for the next day.
Picky eaters like sandwiches that have been cut using a cookie cutter with a cute shape...
Good luck!
snake sandwich, rat pie, lizard's soup, and of couse fried coackroaches oh yea and dont forget crocodile milk
my mom used to put a sandwich or soup. fruit. juice (or I'd buy milk). some carrots sticks or cucumber slices or grape tomatos. a couple cookies. or sometimes pasta salad. or.if we had leftovers that could be eaten cold (chinese food or chicken/steak/pork chops) from the night before.
now that I'm a sophomore in college,my mom doesn't pack my lunch anymore, though. she doesn't even buy my groceries anymore.
I buy the kids School lunch. Its a balanced meal. My daughter gets the normal lunch she is in K...My son gets a choice of 5 lines. He loves the salad line.
a sandwhich, usually ham or turkey. yogurt, some type of fruit and a veggie, i also include crackers or a couple cookies. she gets milk at school
Mini carrots, turkey sandwhiches, Ham sandwhiches, Maybe some left over dinner like spaghetti, Grape tomatoes if your kid likes veggies alot. Bannan's, maybe the dryed out ones like bannana dryed chips. You can make just about anything for a kids lunch as long as its healthy.
dinosaur chicken nuggets, rice, canned corn. for snack pretzels and a juice. don't forget the note...no matter how they complain they'll appreciate it one day. my husband loves notes on his napkins. also it's an inexpensive meal but loaded with energy.
Guess I'm the bad mom...my daughter requests 2 slices of buttered bread no crust, a piece of lunch meat she usually don't eat, cheese she don't eat and either pretzels, chips, or cereal with juice or milk. At least she requests meat and cheese to make me feel better! Last time she asked for ravioli to go with her bread. She gets school lunch but says it's to yucky most the time.
i always try to pack them healthy lunches.heres some ideas
turkey sandwich
tuna fish sandwich...but watch out, it can get soggy
PBJ's are always a hit
fruits..sliced apples and oranges, bananas, grapes
veggies..carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, cherry tomatoes
yogurt
a FEW chips, Cheetos, pretzels, goldfish etc.
sometimes i throw in a special treat like a small piece of chocolate,a cookie etc.
juice or water to drink
My children love salads, so we do that once in awhile. With fruit, and some juice to drink. We do turkey, bologna, pb&j, sometimes chicken strips left over from the night before. Soup. We always do some sort of fruit, pudding, yogurt, fruit snack. My children love pita chips, or crackers with cream cheese on them. Just about anything can work in a lunch. I have 3 children and have tried most things.
healthy snacks:sugar-less, organic, and non-artificial stuff. Like
pretzels, grapes, apple slices w/caramel, cheese sticks, yogurt,
turkey sandwiches, tuna sandwiches, PBJ sandwiches, crackers
soup, egg croissant sandwich, and sometimes sushi.
Lots of fruits and vegatables.
turkey sandwich, banana, apple, chicken fingers, a juice box, and oranges. :-) i hope i helped.
Well, I guess the first thing to say is "What do you put in your child's lunch now?" That will help to give you some better ideas as to what you could put in.
If your going down the "healthy-but-fun" route, give them something to dunk. All kids love to dunk things; donuts, basketballs, anything dunk-able.
Examples:
-Baby Carrot sticks/Cherry Tomatoes/Celery sticks and Fat Free Ranch dressing.
"Same Old, Same Old With a New Twist" - Take that same PB&J or Ham & Cheese Sandwich and cut it into strips or in weird shapes. You can even take some cookie cutters and use those to cut out shapes. This makes for an interesting lunch, especially if you get extra creative and decide to make a puzzle out of the lunch. Cut the sandwich into a mosaic style, so that he/she may put it together into that square sandwich.
There are some other great ideas to spice up your child's lunch, but I do not want to take up too much space. Feel free to email me if you have any questions about anything.
I hope I could be of some help to you.

I usually give them a fruit, a sandwich, a treat like a cookie or sucker, a veggie, some pretzels, and a drink like pure fruit juice or milk or just water.
The following are a few school lunch tips from Meals Matter:
Take kids shopping and have them pick out foods they like.
Teach kids how to read food labels and make healthier decisions about what they eat.
Have kids help pack their lunch. Teach them how to pack a well-balanced and portion-appropriate lunch.
Choose healthier snacks such as pretzels, dried fruit, pudding or string cheese.
Save dinner leftovers for lunch. Pack pasta or make sandwiches out of leftover chicken.
Make sandwiches different by using pita or focaccia breads.
Use insulated lunch boxes and refreezable ice packs help to keep foods cold and fresh.
Use thermoses to keep hot foods hot.
"Lunches are a great opportunity for parents to influence their kids' eating habits," said Allen. "Involving kids in the process teaches them healthy eating habits that will last a lifetime."

Chicken Fingers
Children love pounding chicken into thin cutlets. If you do not have a meat pounder, a hammer or a rolling pin will work. Even the youngest child can participate in this recipe. These can be made the night before and sent to school the following day.

Pound chicken into thin cutlets between sheets of plastic wrap with a mallet. In a bowl beat the egg. Dip the chicken into the egg and then into the bread crumbs.
Arrange the chicken cutlets into a nonstick baking dish and drizzle each one with melted butter and lemon juice. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes or until golden. Slice into strips and serve with your child's favorite sauce.
