You can buy wonton wrappers put them in muffin tins. Bake them till they are hard and put any kind of filing in them. Tuna tomato avo. Chicken and corn. Beef and veg

[Emmett's Mummy]

Maybe using rolls or wraps (same price as bread) to make it more interesting/varied for them?

Thanks for the ideas girls :)

By the way we are nut free no so nothing with nuts thanks.

Ummm how about quiche or frittatas. Savoury muffins, left over dinners. You could try wraps with different fillings, salad and hommus, turkey and cranberry, chicken and avacado. Or salads. You could do cous cous salad, tuna niscoise (sp?) chicken ceasar salad, cold pasta salad. Home made pizzas made the night before or vegetarian pastas.

Can you buy or make savoury scrolls? I know bakers delight have mini scrolls with ham and cheese or cheesy mite. Also make pizza the night before and send cold pizza slices. Or just rice crackers rather than bread with spread.

[The Fox]

Also how about rice paper rolls, spanikopita, tuna sushi rolls. In colder weather you can do soups like pumpkin soup and put them in a thermos. What about homemade
Sausage rolls (vegetarian version if you worried about it spoiling in the lunch box)

My daughter loves wraps.

Either Chicken, Ham or Pork with Avo, tomato, lettuce and cheese

Rice or corn cakes. Its what i use for my DD, i also give her carrot sticks, an egg, cucumber and celery. She thinks its pretty good.

Pasta salad homemade with tuna, olives, capsicum etc through it or other fillings.
Fried rice or rice salad

Sometimes even just rolling the bread up like a sushi roll is enough to brighten it up (works best with avo/cream cheese/spreads(peanut butter if u weren't nut free). You could also try cookie/sandwich cutters. I have a Hand shaped cutter and my 3yr old DS loves his 'hand sanwiches' :)
