The kids get 3x containers of food for the day. Even tho dd2 is home FT I pack her a lunch bag so she can help herself and it keeps the mess down. They each get a fruit box, snack box and main lunch box.

Today

Dd2 is 3=5yo.
She has a cut up peach.
2X Anzac biscuits, 1X mini apple/oat mini muffin.
1X bbq pork bun and a side salad (tomato/mushroom/cucumber/capsicum/beans)

Dd1 who is 5.5yo
1X cut up peach
2X Anzac biscuits and 1X pear/oat slice
3X mini lasagnas plus same side salad.

Today my kids have:

DD: grapes and blueberries
Baked beans
Cheese and rice crackers
Banana bread (homemade)
Pikelets (homemade)

DS: nectarine and blueberries
Egg and mayo on Wholemeal
Pizza scroll (homemade)
Banana bread (homemade)
Oat slice (homemade)

My chest freezer is packed with lunchbox baking. As you can see my kids like different things so I find it easier to have 2 baking afternoons a term to cater to them both.
