This month they had 25 easy ideas for are kidlets lunches (I might steal some of these ideas for myself). In the magazine the lunches were packed in a laptop lunch boxes with all the food groups represented in each example. I've listed below some items that I thought were inventive or particularly fun.
- bow-tie pasta salad
- watermelon (take seeds out for little ones)
- fig newtons
- shelled edamame
- ham, turkey, and cheese rolled up together sliced, and skewered with pretzels
- sliced hard boiled egg
- mini whole grain waffles
- bell-pepper strips
- sliced kiwi mixed with a few blackberries
- mini corn muffin
- slice of banana bread
- blueberries
- bean salad
- melon wedges
- PB&J on mini bagel
- mini oatmeal cookies
- pita pockets with grilled chicken and veggies
- yogurt with strawberry slices
- Veggie cream cheese and cucumbers
- Tuna salad with sliced tomatoes
- Almond butter with slivered almonds and dried cranberries
- Hummus and chopped peppers
- Apple butter and fresh apple slices
- Whipped cream cheese and fresh blueberries
- The Laughing Cow spreadable cheese with ham and grated carrot
- Blueberry cream cheese with strawberry slices
- Jam and cream cheese

LOVE this! Thanks for sharing so many ideas!!!
These are great! I'm going to be packing some wee lunches for our Thursday Bible study and have been wondering about the same things: what kinds of finger foods should be sent along! I doubt I'll try bell pepper strips on the kids, but the sandwiches with cream cheese sound promising.
