Kids and crusts? Lol
Why is it that the majority of my mindees don't eat the crusts on their sandwiches? ![Laughing](https://www.childmindinghelp.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/laughing.gif)
What is it with kids and crusts?

Tbh I'm not a fan of them either but I do eat them!
I usually leave the crusts on & compromise saying they can leave half! I think thats fair?
-
Drives me mad! I make homemade bread with a very soft crust and also homemade Pizza and they still leave the crusts! If I remember I cut the tiniest sliver off the edges and then they eat it.

mine eat them - usually new children need a few times of saying 'we eat all of the sandwich at ks house...' but soon do. Its just a pet hate of mine Im afraid. They get the next bit of the lunch when theyve eaten all the sandwich!

I used to have a child that would only eat one bite out of a sandwich if it had a crust. In the end, I cut the tiniest, thin slice of the crust, and then he was more than happy to eat it all.
If I made toasted sandwiches, I used to say the edges were crunchy caterpillars!!! They all ate them too.
I just use the crusts for the bird table or to feed the ducks

My dd eats them, my ds throws a strop is he has his on (he is 4 and at school - I cut 2 sides off and leave 2 sides on - he sometimes eats them), my mindees who are 2 plus eat them no problem but I automatically cut them off for under 2s - not sure why really?!

I have always cut the crusts off for my little ones but then I put them on the plate next to the sandwiches and they eat them? ![Clapping](https://www.childmindinghelp.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/clapping.gif)

i buy crusts off bread ..problem solved

I have to cut the crusts off for all mine too. So I now blitz the crusts to make breadcrumbs and pop them in a bag in the freezer - adding a bit each day. Then when the bag is full and I start a new bag I use the previous bag for either coating chicken or fish goujons or to make a crunchy topping on cauliflower cheese or pasta bake.

My Lo eats the crusts no problem. Hubby made her a sarnie last week for us to take out, asked me if she eats the crusts...yes I say, so he cut them off.

None of my mindees eat crusts and even worse my own 2 children won't. The annoying thing is i have never cut the crusts off so i don't know where this aversion to crusts has come from.
love Sarah.

Now that is just too good I'm afraid

So pleased I am not the only one with this problem. I now cut 2 crusts off and that works. My problem is the monsters who take the ham out of the sandwiches and refuses to eat it.
-
Maybe kids think the crusts are just to hold onto while they eat their sandwich ?? Just a thought
-
If the crust is on a sandwich 3 of the 4 LO's leave it. If it is buttered bread with soup they eat the lot and then ask for more, Kids eh.

My daughter is 7 next week. She has always eaten her crusts, up until a fortnight ago. Drives me loopy!!!!
