Lunchbox ideas
Children can be fussy eaters, and often get stuck eating the same things over and over---usually by their own lack of interest in trying new foods.
While we always encourage children to try new foods at home, we also believe it's important for children to help choose what they will eat. Below are a few lunchbox ideas and recipes from our teachers, along with past and current parents of Bendigo Pre-School students.
Please note that our kinder has a no nut policy, and---depending on the allergies of other children enroled---other foods may also be excluded from time to time.
