Tiffin Ideas for little ones

Hi!
My baby has just started going to playschool.
She enjoys eating her tiffin with the other kids.
I am concerned about giving her the right foods that are
1. nutritious
2. appealing to a 2 year old
3. non-messy

Here are some of my ideas and I'd greatly welcome any new inputs!

1. Idlis with non-spicy chutney powder or some ghee
2. Boiled corn flavoured mildly
3. Home- made cup cakes
4. Thali peeth
5. Cutlets
6. Vegetable upma
7. Cutlets
8. Wheat pancakes
9. Boiled, mildly flavoured grains and sprouts like chana, rajma, chowli, mung, matki
10. Salads
11. Various dosais and uthappas (ragi dosai, plain dosai, pesarattu, onion uthappa, tomato uthappa)
12. Vegetarian omelette.
13. Vegetables and noodles / pasta.
14. Cut fruit (Pomogranate, apples, oranges, sweet limes, papaya, cucumber, grapes, pears, kiwi)
15. Roti sabzi rolls.

I will try to put my recipes for this list as and when possible. Meanwhile, please feel free to share your ideas and recipes!
