Montessori lunchbox ideas

We strongly encourage children to bring real food instead of bars, squeeze pouch foods, lunchables or other prefab food items. To encourage independence it is essential that all lunches are packed in easy to open containers and/or lunch bags and are ‘spill proof’. Wraps, sandwiches, rice paper rolls, small dumplings, bite sized cut meats, cheeses, fruits and vegetables with yoghurt or another dip. These ideas all work well and give you plenty of opportunities to vary with different food items and tastes. And yes, we do heat up your child’s lunch when asked, so feel free to fill their lunch box with yummy leftovers!

We strongly encourage children to bring healthy ‘real’ foods rather than bars and pre-packaged foods. To promote independence, it is essential that all lunches are packed in easy to open containers and/or lunch bags and are ‘spill proof’. If you are looking to vary food items and tastes, here are some ideas that work well: wraps, sandwiches, rice paper rolls, small dumplings, bite sized cut meats, cheeses, fruits and vegetables with yoghurt or another dip. Whilst sharing of lunch amongst children is not allowed, we please ask that you keep in mind the allergies of other children by only providing nut-free, low allergy foods. And yes, we do heat up your child’s lunch when asked, so feel free to fill their lunch box with yummy leftovers!
