little_muffin Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Hi there, My 4 yo has just started big school (at the same place where she was pre-schooled so no issue with food) and now only gets lunch so it's up to mummy to come up with something for tea. I had a bright idea of Bento boxes that I could prepare in advance and then there was no mad rush or screaming child after school. Any ideas of what to put in it would be great. It's 2 layer so my first attempt; Bottom layer, no sections - minted lamb burger with homemade tomato sauce Top layer, sections - 2 cherry tomato's, almonds, dried superberries & i'm stuck for the 4th one. Any help would be ace, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Baby carrots, half a banana, raisins, slices of cucumber, slices of bell peppers... I really like the note idea - even a cute little stick figure drawing would be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little_muffin Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 after the first attempt my 4yo had an horredous night's sleep. She had her Bento then a paleo smoothie (macadamia nuts, coconut milk, mango, pineapple & ice). Just wondering if there could be a correlation between lack of sleep &the amount of fruit sugars??... It was only her 2nd day in school so I thought she would have been exhausted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roz Griffiths Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I always sleep poorly if i hit the sugar. But i guess she may have been over tired? Big school's a big thing when you're 4 (my 4 yo starts full days on Monday, he only eats food that's beige &/or crispy . I wish the canteen staff all the luck in the world!)
