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
