(my apologies for the photo, I grabbed it really quick without even editing or resizing)A few weeks ago I read about this thing called bento lunches on a message board I'm on. I had no clue what it was when I clicked on the link, but it seems pretty easy, and I have to say, I think I may be hooked! From the reading I've done (mostly on this blog) my take is that it's pretty much whatever goes, but all in one container where the kids can see everything at once.
I just ordered two of these Lock & Lock containers earlier in the week (when they were $5 instead of $7 something...), but I've done a few in random boxes we have at home (the above were done in those dollar spot sandwich holders from Target). Obviously those wouldn't be something the kids could take to school, they were for lunch one day during summer break.
Eventually I'd like to get some of these cute little fork picks, and maybe a few of these in some fun shapes, but for now I'm trying to just use what I have.
It's kind of fun to see how much food I can fit in a little box, and they kids love it. They can't remember the name, but they ask for it all the time. I think my favorite was when M asked if they could have "one of those bent-out lunches". :)
