Picky Eater School Lunches Made Easy
Simple Tips & Food Suggestions
Start by getting your kids involved in making their lunches. Sit down and write a list with them of all the foods they will eat, and what they are willing to try. Split the list in two sections; main dishes and side dishes. Then when making their lunches choose a main and two side dishes on their list, and you’re sure to please the pickiest of eaters!
Even try getting the kids to help make their own lunch the night before, that way they will be excited to eat what they packed themselves.
Get creative with their lunches. Don’t just make them a boring sandwich, cut it into a heart or other fun shapes with cookie cutters, put the mustard on in a smiley face, or write cute notes with jokes to make them smile.
No repeat lunches. Every day should be something different, it keeps them excited to see what surprises you packed away.
