In my experience, kids will eat anything if you skewer it on a stick. I'm not quite sure what the draw is, exactly, but it works! You can make up kebabs with just about anything. Here's a few suggestions to get you started:
- Slices of lunch meat rolled up with cubes of cheese and pineapple interspersed
- Cherry tomatoes with chunks of mozzarella cheese (or slices of cheese stick)
- Chunky pieces of carrot, celery, cucumber or bell pepper (my kids like red & yellow peppers too)
- Salami, cubes of mozzarella cheese and cherry tomatoes
If you are concerned about your child "skewering" their classmates, you could substitute a straw instead of a wooden skewer or toothpick! I have found this also helps kids who have a hard time finishing lunch due to time constraints.
