My DS is about to start Reception. He is going to have packed lunches and can be quite a messy eater - yoghurt etc tends to end up around his face. He had packed lunches at pre school and often when I picked him up he would have a crusted ring of food around his mouth. I don't really want this now he is in big school!
Does anyone put a wipe in their DCs lunchbox? Is it a bit precious? Can you buy individually packed ones that are easy for children to open? I am a primary school teacher and rarely did children come back from lunch with food around their mouths (the youngest I taught was Year 1 though) - if they did I would wet a paper towel and wipe it for them. Do dinner ladies do this?
