If your kids are like mine, they quickly grow tired of the same old peanut butter and jelly sandwich in their school lunch box. By putting together easy ingredients and making them into unique and fun options, your kids will be excited each day to see what you have packed them.

You can create this fun lunch idea by using red, white, and blue items or making simple star sandwiches, cookies, and cheese. Have fun making a bento box full of fun and healthy food options for your kids! They’ll love all the options and just might eat it all up! This is the perfect kids lunch or a great lunch idea to share!

This can not only be used as a school lunch but at home during the summer days too. Not to mention that it would be a fun idea for Memorial Day, Labor Day, or an All Star Lunch theme.

How do you keep the food inside a Bento box chilled?

There are a lot of options when it comes to using a Bento box. Some bento boxes come with cool packs right inside or on the top of the lids that keep the food contents nice and chill until lunch.

There are many options so be sure to find one or two that fit your needs. I like to have several on hand so that I can rotate them in and out so that they fit with our needs for that day or week – plus it gives time for overlap for dishes to be done, etc.

Important Tips for this Bento Box Idea:

If you’re making a sandwich with lunch meat, I’ve found that it’s easier to use the cookie cutter of your choice on all the parts individually and then stack them together rather than try to stack them at once and cut through them.

If you’re coking a grilled cheese or peanut butter and jelly sandwich then you can just use the cookie cutter and cut through the entire sandwich all at once.
