Lunch ideas for daycare

Jenna will need to bring lunch to daycare. Any suggestions as what to give a finicky 2.5 year old that will not eat cold cuts I think they can microwave food but am not sure

Re: Lunch ideas for daycare

yogurt, cheese sticks, grilled cheese,
meatballs, riceballs, and chicken nuggets.

Re: Lunch ideas for daycare

Bagels, cheese and crackers, chicken nuggets, cheese sandwiches, fruit cups, gerber graduate lunch boxes? Keep in mind they are peanut free, so nothing with peanuts in it!

Re: Lunch ideas for daycare

yogurt drinkables, fruit or cereal bar, cheese and crackers, dole fruit cups, pb and j (if they allow peanut butter, if not just jelly)

Re: Lunch ideas for daycare

At my son's daycare, they microwave things so here are so things I send him with:

Mac and cheese with peas
soup
chicken cutlets cut up
left overs from dinner
yogurt
PB& J sandwich
cream cheese sandwich
jelly and cream cheese sandwich
turkey rolled up with cheese


Hope that helps.

It does thank you everyone

Re: Lunch ideas for daycare

I always make extra dinner and give Ry left overs-

I also do:

Mac-n-cheese and chicken nuggets (they are his favs' so I never lose with that...)

Tortellinis w/ butter and parm cheese
(I usally throw peas in with it-since he loves peas)

Kids cuisnies or gerber grad meals

Cut up pizza

Soup- (with majority of the broth drained)

Hmm... If I think of anything else Ill let you know...

RJ is not a good eater either- (which is why he is such a peanut) However he does eat better at school- I guess because thats what everyone else is doing

I don't mean to hijack the thread but how are the Kids Cuisines and Gerber Graduate meals? Any better than others? Any that RJ hates? I want to try them with DD....she's so picky!!!
