s/o 11-12 month old lunches for daycare

What are some ideas for lunches I can send to daycare for DD? Nothing can be heated and it won't be kept in a fridge (but I can put an ice pack in her lunch bag).

I've been sending a Jammy Sammy and a fruit cup but I need more ideas. TIA!

ETA: I love those website that were posted but I feel like that stuff is for an older than 11-12 months kid.

  • hummus & pita triangles, tortilla pinwheels (roll turkey & cheese up in a tortilla & slice), string cheese & crackers, individual applesauce cups, cheese quesadillas, cold pasta (fusilli) with peas & corn.

  • J is only 10 months old but is on table foods.  However he is still at the point of having things in VERY small pieces.  I think he will still be at 11-12 months as well if I remember correctly.  So while things like turkey roll-ups are great he is not there yet.

    He goes to a sitter once a week.  She serves the older kids food and if it is suitabe for J she will feed him that but I also usually send something as well.  Right now my fave thing to send is thin sliced lunch meat (the sitter can easily chop it into tiny pieces), shreded cheese, I also buy bags of frozen HEB steamable veggies.  I pop it in the microwave in the  morning and part of it into a container to take to the sitter.  She does have a fridge but even if she did not the veggies would be fine for a few hours.  I have also sent plain pasta and fruit cut into tiny pieces.

  • Great ideas..thanks yall!
