Pick up some different ideas like chocolate dipped tangerines and pinwheel wraps.

If your little one struggles to eat their fruit swipe this idea from BBC Good Food and dip it in a little chocolate. So easy to do the night before and guaranteed to give the other kids lunchbox envy!
Create Some Pinwheel Wraps
We love the idea of these little pinwheel wraps, especially the fact there is a selection of fillings. This would be a great alternative to Sandwiches.

Mini loaves are over looked. Savoury or sweet they make the perfect lunchbox treat. Why not bake some of these mini vegetable loaves from My Little Lunchbox or take a look at her sweet versions on the website.
Use Those Cookie Cutters
Embrace the fact some children don’t want their crusts and make use of those cookie cutters you have at the back of the cupboard. We guarantee the kids will gobble their sarnies up if they look like this.
