There has been a lot of trial and error for me this year, even with lunch boxes to avoid spillage. My tips:
- wrap sandwiches in foil or sandwich box (lots of accidents falling out of lunch box or DS unable to hold it)
- fruit in sealed container in lunch box that can't leak or zip lock bag
- he loves soft bread rolls with one day tuna, ham, jam and one day I do a homemade pizza and one lunch order day with a plain sandwich in his lunch box
- baked goods like muffins, slice and cake always get eaten
- the main goal is for it to get eaten rather than eating nothing so I have cut down on the salad component for him and save it for home as he would complain it was soggy
- ice bricks in summer keep the meat components cold so ham etc ok. And makes the roll/sandwich taste better too
- he loves cut up oranges, strawberries, mango, cucumber, melons.
Good luck!!
