    From this we came up with a list of 100+ kid-approved sandwich fillings (and we put them all into a FREE PRINTABLE for you too!).

    Tips For Making Sandwiches (That Kids Will Love)

    • keep it simple - most kids prefer sandwiches with just a couple of fillings
    • use a healthy bread that your kids enjoy and can easily eat
    • limit the sweet options
    • beware of tomato, beetroot or any other messy ingredients in lunchbox sandwiches (no ones likes a soggy sandwich!!)
    • slowly test out new ingredient combos, but don't worry if they want the same thing every single day (whatever works, right!)
    • most schools and kinders are now nut-free, so save peanut butter etc for home
    • older kids will enjoy making their own sandwiches and choosing their fillings
