School Lunch Ideas - Mini Pizza’s

 

A yummy quick school lunch idea that is sure to please everyone’s tummy is mini pizzas.

 

 

 

What You Need For This Kids Lunch Idea:

 

 

 

English Muffins (pre-sliced) Whole Wheat preferred if available.

Store Bought Tomato Sauce for Pizza

Pepperoni (Turkey Pepperoni is Great & Healthy)

Mozzarella Cheese (already grated)

Spoon

Baking Sheet

Popsicle Sticks

Ready to Serve Cut up Veggies (carrots, celery, and cucumber-all three, or just one or two kinds.)

Ranch Dressing

 

 

 

Lunch/Snack Preparation:

 

 

This is a school lunch idea that everyone can enjoy and help prepare.  It is fun to make, quick to cook, and everyone can enjoy it as a healthy lunch or snack idea.

 

 

Split the English muffins in half.  Give each child two halves (one whole English muffin). 

 

 

Go around and put one spoonful of sauce on each English muffin half for each child.  Allow the children to spread the sauce with the popsicle sticks provided. 

 

 

Give each child 5-6 pieces of pepperoni and allow them to arrange them however they like on top of the sauce. 

 

 

Next, give each child a handful of cheese that they can sprinkle on each English muffin halve.

 

 

Put the English muffins on a baking sheet and place them in a preheated 350ºF oven until the cheese is melted and just starting to turn golden.

 

 

While the pizzas are cooking you can sing some of the preschool children’s favorite songs and read a book or two, being aware of how the pizzas are doing at all times though.

 

 

When they are ready, with oven mitts, take out the pizzas and allow to cool for 3-5 minutes. Then place the pizzas on plates for the children with some ready to eat cut up veggies and ranch dressing for dipping.

 

 

This great preschool lunch idea is great served with milk or juice.

 

 

Enjoy Your Lunch!
