If your days look anything like mine did, then I picture your mornings reciting ALL THE AVAILABLE BREAKFAST & LUNCH OPTIONS for your kiddos to prepare them for their day. This would be the case every single morning for me. I’d ask my son what he would like for breakfast & I’d get shot back with the undying question of “what is there?”
After I would recite EVERY SINGLE OPTION & he’d sit there in question with himself for a few minutes and finally make a choice, I’d serve him up his breakfast & then dread what was next….”Now what would you like for lunch?” URGH!!!!!!
SAVE ME!!!
Breakfast and Lunch Menus for Kids
In an effort to take this daily struggle & mental weight off my shoulders, I created 2 separate power list menus that included all of our normal staple breakfast & lunch items. Things like cereal with milk, oatmeal, yogurt with berries, etc. And for lunch it included things like, ham and cheese sandwich, peanut butter and jelly sandwich, chicken and rice, and more.
Each morning when we’d get up, while using our back-to-school routine cards (you can download your FREE routine cards HERE!) when it came time for breakfast he would go to his menus & choose his 2 meals for the day & continue on with his routine while myself or my husband got everything ready.
BOOM! It literally became that simple!!
If your little ones are too little to read
Granted, when we first started with this idea, my little dude was a little too little to read, so instead of just a list, I included pictures with each item so he knew what it was.
This accomplished the same idea & allowed for his own independence from as young as 4 years old!
