Kid Lunch Box - Lunch On A Stick

You can make up kebabs using skewers or straws with many different foods. They are quick to put together and easy to pack in your kid's lunchbox. Here are some examples, but feel free to make up your own combinations choosing healthy foods that your child enjoys.

 

Lunch On A Stick

 

Most children will leave food that takes a lot of effort to eat as they want a quick re-fuelling stop leaving maximum time for the playground. For example, give clementines already peeled and cover with plastic wrap or cut kiwi fruit in half and let them scoop out the flesh with a teaspoon. Cut up raw vegetables will keep fresh if you wrap them in damp kitchen paper and why not include a tasty dip.
