Do U BenTo?

Every year as I prepare to pack the kids lunches for school the Japanese Art of Bento comes to mind....
Have you heard of Bento Boxes??
Bento Box:  A single portion boxed lunch or meal common in Japanese Cuisine.  A Traditional Bento consists of rice, fish/meat, and vegetable side.  The containers are usually compartmentalized but not always.  It is seen as an art form and skill- food is often arranged to resemble other objects such as flowers, leaves, cartoon characters etc.

I love this idea of packing lunch in this clever and creative way!!

The food is cute but I also love all the choices for boxes and accessories too!
All found via Amazon.com





Even a book to help you with your Bento Creations!!
I am definitely going to try this for my kiddo's this year....it looks so fun!
