Other toddler lunch ideas are:

Fruit Yogurt Dip – A lot of kids like to dip their lunch and you can encourage them into eating crackers, vegetables, and fruits by providing them with a fresh yogurt dip, which is a lot healthier than ketchups or other sauces. Start with simple yogurt with only a spoon or so of jam in it. Encourage your child to dip his strips of fruits into the yogurt dip before putting them in his mouth.  Allow the child to dip even raw vegetables in the yogurt dip if he wants to.

Eggy Bread – Children are often fussy when it comes to eating eggs. Eggy breads can ensure that your child gets the vital nutrients easily.  Crack a couple of eggs and dip each side of a few bread slices into it. Add some butter in the frying pan and fry the slices till they turn golden.

Enjoy and have fun eating with your toddler!
