Back to School Means Bento!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Even though I homeschool, it's such a relief when we can go back to a strict schedule to our day. My kids seem to respond in a positive way, although I think it may have to do with all the food prep that happens. 
Getting all of them fed and watered twice throughout our school day means being organized. That doesn't mean it's not fun. I love to make Bento for their lunches as often as possible. It's a surprise for them to open their box, and having a food plan means they get back to their lessons in record time. Although some Bento is absolutely amazing, mine seem to be more of the basic variety. I take hints and ideas from the experts and make them my own. 
To get your creative juices flowing, take a look at some of my favorite Bento ideas:
