      We usually pack lunchpack every other day. Varieties of sushi, sandwiches, fired rice, omelette, cake, pancake whatever. She gets to choose what she prefers.

      Bread with jam/choc, fried noodle/udon, BUT it's true that the food must their choice/preference

          3:30pm?


          I hope it's for afternoon tea or snack; and not lunch.

          If it is afternoon tea or snack, wouldn't a bread, pastry or cookies be suffice? :?

            after the 1st week, I did not bother to pack anything for DD for her recess. At times if I bake some goodies, she will ask to bring for recess but other then that, she is happy buying her own snacks. Even on CCA days, she will get her own lunch from the canteen. At times she will eat the same thing for lunch and for tea. Kids, when they like something, they can eat it for every meal, then 1 week later, they will not even touch that same food much less eat it.

                fussymummy,

                your DS is very 懂事 knows how to save already...
                i also have little ideas what is good home-made choice for my DS...
                he seemed to prefer food at canteen and there was a time he told me food / snack sold in canteen was cheaper...
                😐

                  My ds who is in p1 is also a fussy eater. Usually she packs bread, biscuits and sometimes fruits e.g watermelon, banana, grapes for her afternoon school recess.

                      Hi, you can consider using Bento tools. Very Kawaii!! That's what mummies at japan did for their kids lunchbox.
