[quote=Anonymous]My kids are grown and flown now but I always packed [b]mini-versions of regular food [/b] as school snacks for when they were in ES and MS. My kids bento boxes often had the following snacks. 
- blueberry pancakes (sweeten with dates puree in the batter, no need to send syrup)
- cut up cheese cubes
- cut grapes or berries
- tangerines (half peeled)
- yogurt (homemade)
- french toasts
- quesadilla
- spiced vegetable appe, upma, spiced idli
- crepes filled with nutella or just sweetened and cardamom-flavored or vanilla flavored mashed paneer or ricotta.
- tea sandwiches - usually cucumber or egg salad.  Cut a full sized sandwich in 4 squares or triangles. 
- Use rice wrappers, mandu wrappers,  puff pastry sheets, empanada dough,  parantha dough, dosa batter, cheela batter etc. -  and fill it with any stuffing on hand + cheese - and bake it or steam it.   I would go crazy with different fillings - eggs, meat, beans, vegetables,  cheese, rice, nuts, leftover pasta, mac and cheese, deli meats, and fruits.
