What do you like to pack for disposable field trip lunches?
Last time I did a ham/cheese sandwich, banana, juice pouch and a fruit pouch. She has a field trip at the end of the month and I'll probably do something similar.
-
Pouch, applesauce, goldfish, cereal bar, blueberries. I sometimes surprise him with fruit snacks or chocolate chip cookies.
-
Luckily for us, daycare always provides lunch, even on field trips!
-
I cant stand a hot bagged lunch (who knows if my kids care) ha!
Anyway - buy cheap sponges (dollarstore) and freeze one over night and put it in a Ziploc bag - it will keep her juice and pouch cool - and it can be thrown away.
I do deli meat, yogurt (freeze), water, chips, fruit
-
@lamariniere: nice!
@Mamaof2: I was thinking of putting a little water in a ziploc bag and freezing it the night before as a ice pack! -
Usually a pb&j or turkey sandwich, fruit, goldfish and water.
-
@yellowbird: surprised your daycare allows PB&J!
-
@regberadaisy: That might leak - put a paper towel in there to absorb it
-
@Mamaof2: ah - ic. When the sponge defrots, it just sucks the water back up. Brilliant.
-
@regberadaisy: yep! I don't think any child has a peanut allergy. They don't serve it, but if we pack it it's okay.
-
You can freeze a lot. Yogurts and sandwiches and juice boxes!
-
@Mamaof2: this is such a creative idea! We freeze & use those Sassy teethers that come in a pack as lunch ice packs, but I love this disposable option!
We sometimes pack bento style minus the bento - peperroni, cheese cubes, cut fruit, baby carrots, some kind of treats(goldfish, gummies)
-
@PinkElephant: cute idea! I can use paper muffin liners In a takeout container. Might be nice for hotter months too to have a lighter meal.
-
I just pack leftovers because I'm lazy.
We have a PackIt freezable lunch bag that keeps the food cold for the school day. I was surprised to find that most kids in his classroom have one too.

@yin: it has to be disposable!
-
@regberadaisy: That would be super cute - I just throw it all in snack-sized ziplocks!
-
@regberadaisy: Bummer! In that case I would probably pack a sun butter sandwich with a banana, tomatoes, and veggie chips.
-
@Mamaof2: so, the field trip is Tuesday and it's supposed to be sunny and 81. Which means HOT. Definitely using your frozen sponge idea - heading to dollar store during lunch!
I asked her and she said she wanted (provolone) circle cheese, goldfish and a juice pouch. Nice try, kid.
