Bento looks really fun, and cute...but is it something I would have the extra time to do? Is it something my kids would eat? Well, I am sure Jaidan would eat it, Riley is my main concern because he is so picky.
Bento, for those who don't know, is a meal, usually served in a 'Bento Box'. It's usually finger foods, you can make fun designs, or themes with them. Sandwiches, cheese, and other items cut into fun shapes, fun picks used to eat the food, and sometimes people even do fun themes with their bento boxes.
Here's 1 website I found that shares tips, ideas, and even items you can buy for your bento boxes JUST BENTO.
If you go to Pinterest and search Bento you will find a TON of cool, and also some over the top Bento ideas. One of the blogs I follow is doing a Bento on a Budget section, and you can find a lot of the cool fun things to use for it at the Dollar Tree, my favorite dollar store.
Bento meals have a lot more fruits and veggies in them, so they are much healthier for your kids to eat too.
I am thinking maybe I will try it...It's a bit more work, but if I try it and decide it's not for me, at least I can say I tried it...plus I can start off with cheap things from the Dollar Tree, so if it doesn't work out, at least I'm not out of a lot of money...right?
What do you think of Bento? Is it something you would consider trying? Do you already Bento?
