I’ve been making snack tray lunches for my boys ever since my oldest started eating finger foods. These simple trays are fun for everyone and they are one of the easiest lunches I make. Filled with each person’s favorite foods, this is one of our kids’ all-time favorite meals.
Even now, almost ten years after I first started making these Snack Tray Lunches, they are still on our menu several times a month. My kids love eating them and I love them because they are both easy and fun.
Anything at all can be put into the cups and each tray can be personalized with favorite foods for each child. My boys carry their trays outside and sit on the patio with them any time the weather is nice enough to eat outdoors.

I went and bought cheap muffin tins just for this after you shared this the first time. My kids still adore their snack lunches! Thanks again!

We grew up eating these, but my Grandmother and Mom called them "picky plate" lunches, because there were just small "picky" amounts of many things. We loved them and now my Daughter does, too! Also a great way to use up those small amounts of leftovers!

We call this type of meal Hobbit dinner. Casual finger foods are the best (even in middle earth)!

What a great idea for taking outdoors. We will definitely be doing it when the weather finally breaks.
