Lunchbox ideas for a 5th grader

Question

my daughter is going into 5th grade this year and hates the school lunch....just wanting ideas for lunch of what other parents put in their childs lunchbox?

Answer 1

Well, I took my lunch all throughout elementary school. I always had some type of sandwhich, a small bag of chips, a capri sun juice or kool-aid, and a small debbie snack. She should like that lunch.

Answer 2

My daughter is going into 5th grade also.  She hates the school lunch also.  My problem is that none of my kids eath sandwiches.  My 5th grader will eat a cheese or peanut butter sandwich, but not every day.  I actually send her cereal in a container, with a thermos of milk.  For a snack I send a string cheese or a fruit cups/apple sauce.  If I am sending her cereal for lunch, I try to give her something different for breakfast (waffles, eggs, toast)

Answer 3

The ones like construction workers have a sandwich and a canister of drinks like tea,soda ect

Answer 4

You could try different types of sandwiches that your child may like. For example one day you can send a ham and cheese sandwich and the next maybe turkey. In the winter or even fall you can get a thermas and put soup in with crackers or something. You can try mac and cheese. What about some of her favourite foods? If you heat them up and put them in a themas then they should stay hot. Good luck!

Answer 5

I'm a 5th grader and I know some cute cool and fun to make ideas.

1.All Heart: Make a ham sandwich cut like a heart. Add watermelon, Red Hots, and punch and put some stickers on a paper bag ( if you use them) and your set!

2.Peanut Passion: Put a peanut butter and (jelly if she likes it) in a lunchbox or bag. Add celery with peanut butter (if she likes it) a bag of peanuts and peanut butter balls.

3.Care Bears: This one is so cute! Make her a bear shaped sandwich, add bear-shaped cookies and gummy bears and add a note that says "Have a beary nice day!"

Answer 7

It depends on what your daughter likes to eat, of course, but here are some of the things I put in my son's lunchbox:

Whole wheat pita with turkey or ham

Baby carrots

Grape tomatoes

Broccoli bites

Whole grain Goldfish crackers

Triscuits

Organic yogurt tube

Grapes

Apple

Banana

Peach

Raisins

Pear

Organic milk drink box

Fruit juice drink box

I would usually pack him some kind of sandwich, a vegetable, a fruit, a drink, and something for dessert.  Dessert was usually yogurt or applesauce, but I would give him a pudding cup or some cookies on occasion.

Answer 8

I was in 5th grade once. Let me help. Try:

Snacks:

strawberries with sugar,

peanut butter crackers,

fruit snacks,

Pizza combos,

or pasta/soup in a thermos

Drinks:

chocolate milk,

lemonade,

or fruity drinks that are healthy.

Sandwitches/ things with high protein

peanut butter sandwitch,

turkey sandwitch,

ham sandwitch, etc.

also, try lunchables. I used to love those things! Nachos are always a favorite, so is pizza. Good luck, I hope my advice helped you.

Answer 9

sandwich, juice box, maybe some crackers with cheese or pb. Kids also love those fruit snacks!
