Packing Bento boxes for kids

 

 tips if you are new to packing Bento boxes for kids:

• Kids love visually appealing food, so make it colorful.
• Add kid-favorites: sweet corn, tomatoes, peas, carrots into mains for more fiber
• Add a fruit or a small salad to the lunch box.
• Bite-sized is better. For sandwiches, cut them into triangles or rectangles or form into rolls and slice. For rice, form into balls or use cutters to create cute shapes.
• The Bento will be eaten at room temperature 3 to 4 hours after preparation. Always pack cooked food, except for fruit and salads
• Wash and dry fruits and vegetables before including in the lunch box
• Include cutlery and wet wipes, because kids may forget to wash hands before they eat.
