DD1 takes a homecooked muffin/"healthy" cake or home made muesli bars, 2 pieces of fruit, a frozen popper now that its warm, a samwich/leb bread roll and a small container with some cut up vegies for their munch crunch time at school.... such as a cucumber and some cherry tomatoes.
Occasionally I give her something in the thermos for lunch, like leftover spag or fried rice. Great little investment that was!
(munch crunch time at her school is where they have silent reading for 15 mins and are encouraged to eat something healthy)
We have "Crunch and sip" at our school at 10am. It is a great idea considering alot of kids eat breakfast at 7:30am. It is a long time until morning tea but they are only allowed fruit or some sort of veg (like carrot sticks or cucumber sticks, etc)
I have seen all types of things in kids lunch boxes. Alot of kids these days have these flasks that keep food warm or cold with sushi or leftovers in it.
Sandwiches are all good still.
Some kids have a lot of junk and believe it or not, alot of them leave it in their lunch box and dont eat it.
Maybe something littel for recess like some cheese and crackers, or a bar, or little muffin or cake. Recess isnt long and when they are so little they take FOREVER to eat! So keep it simple and small.
My girls usually take the same thing each day - they're a little fussy with the food they take to school.
I usually pack them:
some yoghurt, jatz and crackers, a sandwich (they like good old vegemite) some grapes and rockmelon, rice cookies. Sometimes they take some natural popcorn, pikelets with honey or a home made patty cake. They also take a bottle of water.
