Are your children bored with their regular school lunchbox? What can you do to make your picky eater actually eat the lunch you packed for him? What different food items can you make for your child to take to school every day? Siri replied. Hello all,
I guess not only children every one will get bored of same lunch box then mothers will make different type of foods and make the food so yummy and it will be easily attracted to the kids also.So mothers will make different variety of foods.

Happy cooking Payal replied. At times giving the child some pocket money to buy canteen food also helps to relieve their boredom. My kid loves to eat sandwich at his school Orchids but I also make him respect home cooked food. We must instill gratitude in our children for getting tiffins prepared by their mothers everyday. Saini replied. Every day is a struggle when thinking of what to pack for the lunch. It is difficult if a child is a fuzzy eater. So I ensure that I pick up what he likes to eat without wasting the food in the lunch hour. But sometimes I cannot force him to eat what he does not like. But I hope things will change soon as I ensure to give him healthy foods from fruits, cereals, food prepared from wheat and juices. Samanta replied. I try to give something different each day of the week so that kids eat their lunch happily and without any fuss. I always try to give healthy lunch but sometimes I throw in some junk for added fun and to make lunch look more interesting. i give the suji halwa cut into different shapes, Pasta with tomato sauce, pancakes with different fillings, dosas, idlis of different colours, mini pizzas. The list is endless. It just needs imagination and creativity to think out of box lunch ideas for your kid. Just keep in mind what your kid likes. Ruhanan replied. Packing lunch for the kids earlier seemed a very difficult task for me. I had to rack my brains thinking what to pack. I was always running out of the ideas and getting bored giving the same lunch. Now I have started experimenting with the lunch. I give them burgers, home made healthy pizzas, baked beans with bread, pasta and such food itmes. I try to make them colourful by adding herbs and condiments.
