Bento Boxes might be adorable but they leave a lot behind. Some might just toss it but instead I consider it to be the perfect lunch for a mom who doesn't mind a little weird looking lunch.
Fun shaped food. This one was for Valentines Day.
I love fun with food.

Cheese crackers, cheese, mushrooms, apples, sweet potato, carrot, pretzels, and meat
nuts, blueberries, raisins, craisins, crackers, carrots, and cheese

Spider sandwiches. Crackers, hummus (can use peanut butter), raisins and pretzels but in half.
With a little prep work you can add in some fun other items into your bento boxes.
Homemade dried fruit roll ups
Fruit roll ups fresh out of the oven. Pureed fruit and place in dehydrator over night.
I hope this has inspired you to go out and make some bentos. Kids LOVE them. And since Easter is coming. Try using egg cartons instead of bento containers.

Have fun. Play with your food. And kick off those shoes.
