This is the first year that I started to prepare food (Baon) for my child in school. I was able to learn some tips in preparing kid’s baon from my sister who have the two kids going to school. It is very important to know the foods that our children are eating in school. When children are out of the house and studying in school, we cannot monitor what they eat. The best way to make sure that they are eating healthy and safe food is to prepare their food or baon at home before they go to school.

Healthy and Fun Ways in preparing food for child in school
- Make a list of foods or baon (good for one week) to buy before you go to the supermarket.
- Choose cupcakes and breads that are not high in sugar. High in sugar will make your kids hyperactive in school.
- Always check the expiration of the foods and choose the food with nutritious ingredients.
- Snacks that are rich in vitamins and minerals are great choice such as bread, sandwich, cookies and biscuits.
Chocolate Cookies for baon
- If you have enough time, you can prepare a sandwich. Hotdog sandwich is one the favorites of bigger kids.
- Try different flavors and variants of biscuits. Children loves to taste different flavors.
- Prepare healthy fruit juice such Calamansi, Orange and Pineapple. They are easy to prepare but if you do not have enough time, you can go for tetra pack juice such as Zesto drinks or Yogurt drinks.
- Always check their lunch box or food box when they arrived home. If you are at work and not home, you can ask somebody in the house to check it for you like your mom-in-law, yaya or maid. If there is a left over and it is still good to eat, encourage your child to finish it.
- Always clean their lunch box or food box every day before using it again.

thanks for the tips mommy! 😀 have you seen the creative bento boxes that other moms have made too? mejo mabusisi but that’s another way to keep the kids healthy and interested in their baon and not cop out by eating what we did not specially prepare for them 🙂
We as parents should be responsible for the food our kids are eating at school.if we can prepare a healthy food for them the better. One good thing here ni America is that the school canteen serves healthy for for students.
that’s so nice… i love the cookies with cute designs. but my little boy only wants bread with nutella… hahahaha! sometimes he asks for some donuts… thanks for sharing. i might try making some of those cookie designs.
Kids’ baon should always be nutritious to keep them strong and healthy all throughout the day 🙂
This is so cool. I’ll apply this to my siblings!
Ayos ang ganitong style ng food para ganahan kumain nag mga bata. Lalo na pinsan ko di kinakain ang mga baon sa school.
I miss my baon to school. It is more cost effective also for pre-prepared foods for students.
It’s nice how mommies prepare food for their children.
But I think that the trend of preparing food is not limited to children only, also for adults!
Congratulations for being a very loving mother!~

Coming up with baon ideas for my kid is always a dilemma for my kid never finishes her food even if i give her many options.
Good tips! I’ll keep that in mind when I have kids of my own. 😀
I am a working mom thus I am not the one who prepare for their actual baon. Thanks for the advise sis..
aww. i miss these days. 🙁 medyo nagutom lang ako sa cookies. LOL.
With a little more effort and imagination, mommies can divert their children’s attention from the usual snacks offered in the market that have way too much sugar and calorie content.
I wish I had more time to do this.
Awwww i miss those days when my mom prepares my ‘baon’ when I was still a kid
wow! thanks for these lovely ideas! will try them too!
I usually buy biscuits as baon for my kids…different biscuits every week. Burger bun is a good idea as well while we personally prepare for the patties. Thanks for your tips 🙂
wow, this is a nice baon tips for the mommies out there.
This is so true! And with a lot of food poison cases at schools, it’s really advisable to make an extra effort to prepare their baons. Hope I can do the same when my daughter goes to school by then.
My Junior Kindy’s everyday baon is rice and ulam. I give her desserts too. :o) In time I hope to be able to bake cookies and cakes and have her bring them to school.
never was a moment that my mom made something out of this.. but it made me realize naging matipid ako sa pera ko dahil sa strategy niya 🙂
I’m excited for Gwen to go to school. Pero matagal pa yun. But when that time comes, I’ll make sure that I will be the one to prepare her baon.
Great tips Jem. I am always on the lookout for healthy snacks for my toddler. She’s a picky eater and doesn’t want to eat veggie sticks so I stick to fresh fruits, bottle fruit juices and healthy biscuits and bread.
I don’t allow my kids to buy food just anywhere that is why I always prefer that they bring their baon with them. I wanted to make sure they are eating safe. 🙂
Thanks for the tips po mommy! Wala pa akong baby but I will surely remember what I read from this post 🙂 Thank you!
Great tips! I’ll consider this when my daughter gets a bit bigger. ^_^
I am trying my best to prepare my son’s baon sa skul talaga, pero minsan wala akong time, kaya I go for biscuits and tetra pack na juice:)
