Read our tips on how to prepare a healthy lunchbox for your child: bit.ly/3AAtzTX
ALT Infographic that says ‘Tips on how to prepare a healthy lunchbox. Children should have up to 6 cups of fluid each day. Milk and water are the best options for your child’s lunchbox. Involve your child in packing lunches. Try out new food at dinner or the weekend before including them in their lunchbox. Cook extra rice or pasta in the evening, these can make great additions to your child’s lunchbox. Choose different types of bread, for example, pitta bread, bagels or wholemeal rolls. Children aged 9 to 12 years need more calcium. Add a portion of cheese, milk or yoghurt for lunch time’.
