Use an insulated bag with an icepack from the freezer to pack your child’s lunch in on really hot days, or choose a lunchbox with a built-in freezer block.
Freeze sandwiches once you’ve made them. Take them out of the freezer in the morning and they’ll defrost ready for lunchtime.
Freeze yoghurt in a secure container. Again, take it out in the morning and it should stay cool until lunchtime while it defrosts.
Pack salad ingredients separately rather than within sandwiches – bread goes even soggier in the heat.

Think about what your child likes to eat at home and try to translate that into a lunch box option.
Vegetables are often overlooked in the lunch box. Try cutting up some carrot sticks or putting in a handful of cherry tomatoes.
Try putting together a small picnic in your child's lunch box - slices of tomato, ham, grated carrot, grated cheese and some bread and butter. Your child can build their own sandwich.
Stick to water in the drink bottle - most juices are full of sugar and make the drink bottle smelly. They also don't do a very good job of quenching thirst.
