Babysitting 3 little boys this summer? help with lunch ideas?

Question

i am babysitting them all summer. there ages range from 2-11. i need different fun ideas so it not always the same thing. also any ideas to include them in "helping" with lunch would be great

Answer 1

In my preschool class we made mini pizzas, and the kids loved them.  We passed out english muffins with pizza sauce, and the kids put on the cheese, pepperroni, veggies, etc.  When I bring my cousins for a picnic I like to use cookie cutters and cut out sandwiches into different shapes.

Answer 2

-grilled cheese sandwiches - you can make the, then give them cookie cutters to make shapes out of the bread (it'll be fun for them and they won't have to eat the crust)

-animal crackers, fruit, and cheese pieces (yummy and fast)

-soup (I guess they can help stir??  You can put in goldfish crackers)

Hope that helps some :)

Bologna  bowls=put a slice of bologna in a hot frying pan, it will curl up into a bowl shape then you can fill them with pork and beans (different twist for beans and franks) just right portion for little ones

Fruit kabobs=a few different kinds of fruit (apple chunks, grapes, banana slices, melon, citrus) use uncooked spaghetti noodles as skewers but be careful around little ones

Answer 6

The trick with kids is make it exciting and make it look good they'll eat pratically anything!!

Make sandwhiches and cut them into shapes.

Cut up fruit & make them into faces on plates.

Make songs up while your feeding them or there eating it.

Basically have fun with them & dont feel like its a struggle.

Answer 7

I'd agree with those before me. Simple is good, especially when you came make interesting shapes out of easy things like sandwhiches. They may also like to participate in making things like cookies or fruit salad. If you're looking for simple yet healthy meals, try ideas from http://allrecipes.com or http://foodnetwork.com

As a fun cookie idea, think about making mini cookie hamburgers. You can make the buns out of a browned sugar cookie dough and by sprinkling sesame seeds on half of them for the top bun. You can then make a very slightly bigger chocolate cookie, and attach it to the bottom bun with icing. Pipe green icing on top of that for lettuce, red for ketchup and yellow for mustard. Then, gently press the cookie with the sesame seeds on top.

Hope that helps!
