About Kids Bento

Kids Bento began with preparing lunches for my daughter in preschool. I would post images to my social media accounts and found an interest among friends.

My daughter didn’t have much interest in eating at the time and also was a slow eater. I was worried she may not eat enough at school when I was not around. I wanted her to be excited about her lunch, and enjoy eating it. I try to make it nutritious, colorful and fun. I also wanted her to remember me when she is away at school so I put a little note with her lunch sometimes.

As the years passed, I found her lunches to be a wonderfully creative outlet. This site is a place to showcase some of my favorites.
