Bento Box Lunches for Kids, Part 2
Submitted by Nina H on
In Part 1 of our Bento Box Lunches for Kids series, we talked about what exactly bento boxes are; this time we're focusing on the tools you'll need to make your own.
Let's start with a box. Some come in fun shapes; some feature cute critters or animation favorites like Hello Kitty and Hayao Miyazaki's Ponyo and Totoro (American cartoon characters are available, though those can be harder to find). They can be double-deckered, with locking lids or simple pop-top squares or ovals. But you can really create a bento box with nearly any container -- a small, shallow Tupperware will do the job just fine.
