Bite-sized food on sticks
Kids love any type of food they can eat off of a stick (and even better if dipped in their favorite sauce) - hotdogs, sausages, chicken satays, beef skewers and the like. Prepare the meat in lunchbox-sized portions and use flat, blunt-edged bamboo sticks to make it safer, especially for younger kids.Pack these yummy food on sticks with your kid's favorite dip, a serving of rice, some sliced cucumbers and sliced ripe mangoes. Yogurt-covered pretzels would be a great addition, too!
Cheesy Quesadillas
Children just love cheese, whether they're on a pizza, a sandwich or in a tortilla! Instead of packing grilled cheese, take it a notch higher and prepare a delicious cheesy quesadilla. Use wheat tortilla as a healthier option. These quesadillas don't need to be hot to be delicious.Pack them with some wheat tortilla chips, avocado slices, jicama sticks and pineapple chunks!
