This may seem a really silly question, I have always used compartment lunchboxes so never had the problem however Kinder seem to be having trouble with DD eating her 'lunch' at morning tea time, I personally do not see the problem with her eating her sandwich at morning tea and her fruit/muffin at lunch, anyway, I am going to try separating her meals in two separate boxes, the question, can I pack for example a sandwich, slice of meat, cheese and some grapes in one box without any separation? I don't see the problem as you would put meat and cheese in a sandwich anyway, are the grapes or a cookie ok in the same box? I would obviously separate watermelon or anything likely to soak onto other foods. The lunch boxes are kept in a fridge until they eat.
If they have a problem they should fix it not make it your problem.
Most schools these days have lunch at morning tea time and a snack at lunch time so perhaps they should swap their times to be in line with schools.
I know this isn't answering your lunchbox question, but have you told them you don't mind if she eats her lunch at morning tea time? As a teacher, I'll often try to encourage my students to save their lunch til lunchtime, but if a parent told me they didn't care what they ate when, then I would let them go.....I know that my DD1 has a much bigger appetite in the morning than at lunchtime for instance so I wouldn't be surprised if she would want to eat her lunch at recess time when she starts school in the future....
It doesn't really bother me if she eats her sandwich first, but it doesn't bother me if they want it separate either, whatever works, as long as she eats I'm happy. Thankyou for your responses and confirming my thoughts. Today I put a little tub in for her date slice to keep it separate from her watermelon other than that, it works!
Packing lunch - to separate foods?
