Ideas for pre-schooler lunch box

[Zoogeek]

DD1 has just started staying for her lunch & I'd like done ideas of what to send with her to eat? Also, any recommendations for loch box containers that toddlers frin easy to use?

DS prefers lots of picky things to sandwiches etc.

i got a little round container in the factory shop- you take the lid off and inside is divided into four sections rather than faffing about with lots of containers and cling film.

he usually has anything from the following:

cocktail sausages
cheese cubes
cold homemade chicken nuggets
breadsticks
bread and butter
tortilla
cucumber/pepper/carrot sticks
organix carrot crisps
melon, grapes, strawberries etc.
frube (freeze these in summer- keeps the box cool and has defrosted in time for lunch)

not very exciting but he likes plain food and this isnall straighforward for him to eat without mess.

sometimes i used to send in an egg and bread and they would cook scrambled egg on toast, or send spag bol/mince and tatties that they would reheat. it could be worth asking if your preschool will do this, gives a a bit of variery if they are eating lunch there every day.

Cheese straws, homemade pizza, pasta salad and if you want to go all fancy, try bento
