Very Easy School Lunches for Fussy Kids

Tip:  If you "let your child help you" pack their "Super" brown bag lunch, they usually will eat it.

Cookie Cutter Sandwiches
Any sandwich can be made more exciting for your child if you cut out the bread with a large cookie cutter in the shape of an animal or dinosaur, circle, heart,  star, or whatever other cookie cutters you can find that they would like. Sandwiches made this way will be great attention getters and will make your child feel important with their peers at school.

Crawly Bugs on a Log
Wash and cut celery stalks into approximately 4" to 5 " pieces and fill them with cream cheese or peanut butter. Now add raisins on top of the filling and push them down slightly to secure them. Kids love these and they have fun at school with these.

Rice Cake People
Using a "rice cake", spread on cream cheese, peanut butter, or any other spread you like all over. Now create a face on the top using nuts, dried fruit, or raisins. You can add coconut for the hair.
 

Star Cheese, Fruit, and Crackers
Using a star shaped cookie cutter, cut some pieces of cheese into stars. Put into the lunch bag with crackers and fruit. You can cut out lunch meat "starts" also.

Tortilla or Bread Pin Wheel Sandwiches

You can make pretty pinwheel sandwiches using a slice of bread or a tortilla. Just spread on some low fat or fat free cream cheese or other filling and roll up the bread slice [without the crust] or a flour tortilla and slice into 1/2" slices. You can use peanut butter, tuna salad, egg salad, lunchmeat, etc. Use your imagination…you can add tomatoes etc.

Wafer Cookie Dips
Pack a cup of fruit flavored yogurt and some wafer cookies and tell you child they can dip the wafers into the yogurt. They usually like these a lot.
