101 Sandwich Filling Ideas for Kids

When I posted a question on my Facebook page asking what people what were their (and their kids) favourite sandwich fillings, I NEVER imagined the incredible (and delicious!) response I would get.  I had a list of around 15 sandwich fillings written down before asking for help putting together this list, and I then ended up with 100+ sandwich filling ideas for kids within 12 hours – wow!

I couldn’t resist trying a couple of your suggestions for our lunch today, and both the boys and I quickly fell in love with the combination of vegemite and lettuce that quite a few of you mentioned – who would have thought?!

As there were so many awesome ideas in the comments, I decided to put them together in one easy post for you so that you will have inspiration when making sandwiches for both the kids and yourself for the rest of the year – enjoy!
