| Hey, I wondered if any of your give your kids lunches for school? Tommy is not interested in school dinners and has has packed lunches since he started school. I just wondered if you had any ideas what i can put in them? Not he's in junior school the will not let them have crisps, chocolate or anything remotely treat orientated and the wont allow juice [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] only water. I have been giving him a sandwich, perrerarmi *sp a yogurt or little pot of jelly and a piece of fruit. i'm pretty sure he's gonna get bored of that every day for the next 3 years lol |

| Hi, My LO's not in school yet but it did get me thinking.. I found this if its any use..has some good idea's on for health foods and snacks but offers a variation too. Also, what about stuff like thick smoothies, offering things like flavoured rice cakes etc. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]I honestly didn't realise they didn't allow 'sweets' in Jr schools [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Wow, how things have changed, the highlight of my day was my 2 finger kit kat [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |

| Or maybe this one - Has some good idea's like salads with a nice dressing on maybe (might go a bit soggy by lunch though [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] ) But you can add fruits and such with lettuce, some cherry toms, carrot sticks etc [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] |

| I haven't got any ides sorry but I cannot believe they won't allow juice [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Fruit juice classes as 1 of your 5 a day, so surely it would be better than water? [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Strange [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] anyway those sites Zee found are great [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |

| I have the same problem! Ryan is so fussy and the school also wont allow squash/crisps. Ryan has most days Sandwhich, yogurt, cheese dipper, and some tuc biscuits. If i put fruit in he wont eat it!! Thanks for the links Zee. |
