Important Tips for this Bento Box Idea:

One key thing that I’ve learned over the years is that you have to tailor the foods to what the kids will eat. Why spend time creating an epic bento bunch lunch full of food that will ultimately go to waste.

While I give suggestions for food items to use, don’t be afraid to branch out and swap out for food items that they’ll eat. This is a great way to get them excited about their lunch and to eat as much of it as possible so it doesn’t have to be tossed out.
