It is so hard to come up with creative things to put in our kids lunchbox everyday. I don't know about your kids, but mine get really tired of a boring turkey or ham sandwich. Here are some of the things I do at my house, maybe your kids will enjoy them too.
1. Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip Sandwich - this is without question my son's absolute favorite. I must confess, the first time I had one of these was at a ladies luncheon, only they used Hershey bars! Yummy!!!
2. Turkey Pepperoni - I just send little slices of this with cheese and crackers and they build their own little sandwiches.
3. Soup - I usually make a couple of different kinds during the week. My kids love for me to heat these up and send in a thermos to school.
4. Leftover Pasta - This is also great heated up and sent to school in a thermos.
5. Pimento Cheese - send in a little container with crackers.
6. Strawberries with powdered sugar
7. Frozen Go-gurts
8. Variety of sliced cheese with crackers and fruit - they get their very own fruit & cheese tray this way. For instance, today my daughter took Smoked Gouda, Smoked White Cheddar,and Colby/Monterey Jack cubes in her lunchbox today, along with sliced apples and grapes. I put in a couple of cookies for a treat.
Hope this sparks some new excitement into your child's lunchbox!
