My DD goes to an ABC child care centre 3 days a week and i have to pack her lunchbox with morning and afternoon tea each day.
they provide fruit platters for afternoon tea.

i am out of ideas of what to put in my DD's lunchbox that will be healthy, filling and of course appeal to my picky toddlers tastebuds.

At the moment she isrejecting sandwiches and vitaweats with the usual fillings.

I was thinking savoury muffins or veggie slice but i have no recipees (am a very very basic in the kitchen).
Also snack ideas - its a nut free centre.
Her regular lunchbox at the moment has - yogurt, cheese, bbq shapes or another biscuit, and a sandwich which she now apparently hates..


need quick and easy ideas as pack it the night before

im currently working in the toddler room at a centre so thought id give you some ideas of what other kids have:yes::yes:

of course sandwhicchees
some kids have sandwhich "bites" put vegemite or whatever or a piece of bread, roll it up and then cut it into little bits (looks swirly) and the kids seem to eat these better as there bite sizes:D:D

- rissoto, cold quiche, cold fritata, spaghetti, baked beans- heated up at child care

- cheese and biccies
- cheese sticks
- grapes, strawberries, orange, rockmelon etc bite sized pieces
- sultanas/dried fruit packs
- youghurt is a big hit for morning tea by all kids or custard even( most kids have youghurt for morning tea)
- fruit bars
- fruit puree
- cold pasta
- mini muffins (banana, blueberry etc)



most kids are happy with the following foods:yes:
