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
