Lunchbox ideas

Hi all. Any interesting packed lunch ideas? Toddler usually takes a flask of hot food to nursery (with some fruit and a yoghurt) but recently it's always coming home uneaten. The only sandwich he'll ever eat is peanut butter which isn't allowed.

Pinwheels are nice? I usually just put cheese and tomato in DD but there are lots of different fillings.

You could try more of a picky lunch

Will he eat humous? That can be quite filling with some carrots

All the things I've been putting in his flask bizarrely!

Soups, pastas, bolognese.

I've got a little bento type box with compartments so might just have to go the snacky route. Just need to make sure it's filling enough.

I haven't a clue. The 2 year olds bring lunch and the 3 year olds get hot food provided. I know he eats all the fruit and veg snacks which are offered to all the children

His eating is fantastic at the moment otherwise. It could be he's too keen to go play. Nursery just said recently he's saying he doesn't want the hot flask. He's coming in absolutely ravenous so dinner is really early now.
