You could get a well insulated thermos for each kid and pack things like soup, macaroni and cheese, casseroles, rice dishes, spaghetti, or scrambled eggs in them. You can freeze a juice box or cup of yogurt/pudding and put it in an insulated lunchbox to keep perishables cold (like lunchmeat or string cheese).

Personally I'm a big fan of the laptop lunchbox (www.laptoplunches.com), but if a kid cannot refrigerate or heat things up, it may not be an everyday option.

Yea agreed with you because my daughter is crazy about macaroni and cheese and the idea of laptop lunch is great...
