I've found a new obsession hobby - bento lunches! In my quest to make sure my kids are eating healthy sometimes it's hard to get them to eat all their fruits and veggies. However, if they have a super cute lunch that's fun to eat I'm hoping it will solve the problem. I've been scouring the internet for hours and hours and have finally decided to take the plunge. I ordered some bento boxes and a few tools to test the waters. I've been so inspired by some of the bento lunches I've come across in my searches, and I can't wait to start making my own. The first couple are going to be pretty rough as I'm not working with much until my ordered supplies come in, but we'll see how it goes.
Here's what I've ordered so far:
* 2 original size (5 compartment) bento boxes.
These are pretty big in size, and I'm sure we'll need some smaller boxes down the road, but for M's lunch I think they'll be perfect. I had a list of criteria that I needed met in a bento box and these met them all (dishwasher safe, BPA and phthalate free, and lots of compartments). Plus I got a steal of a deal at Solutions! This is a link to the Goodbyn site where you can read all out them. This is where I ordered from on sale now for $17.99 plus free shipping until 10/6!
* Picks, Sauce Containers and Cutters from All Things For Sale. Unlike most online stores I've come across that carry a wide variety of bento supplies All Things For Sale ships from San Francisco, CA instead of Japan which means the items arrive a lot sooner and shipping is much cheaper.

Sandwich/Meat/Cheese Cutters
Face Cutters
(So excited to get this & try it out)
Food Picks
Sauce Containers
* Icing Eyes! How cute are these? I found the best price on eBay ($1.35 plus $2.00 s/h for 80 eyes.) Super excited for them to arrive. In looking at other bentos for inspiration I've noticed they really make the sandwich/animal stand out plus I know my kids will kick such a kick out of them.
