Lunchbox Specialties

My current obsession is with the Bento Box Lunch trend popping up everywhere! For those that have missed me the memo I'm the mom of two boys that are growing what seems like a inch every day. As with everything that I do I want things to be fun, lively and creative for my guys.  You only get to be a kid once so why not have a little fun here and there.

The Yumbox Lunch is what I currently have my eye on for my 4 year old. All of the compartments give you a multitude of options to create a healthy lunch box with good portions. TC (as he will forever be known) suffers from several food allergies at the moment so lunch or heck any meal is a challenge in our house. So, to make it enticing for him to eat this mom/dad has their work cut out for them.

Seriously what  kid would not want their sandwich made into a Pirate or a Fish!

Outside of the mission of finding the perfect Bento box I'm also on the hunt for all of props for the box. One thing you don't want to have is a chocking hazard in your son/daughters lunch box. I've seen the traditional tooth picks that are swords or varying colors but I don't know about your 4year old but my 4 year old would likely lance himself or his little friends with any sharp items in the box.  Pinterest has taught me that when looking for the right skewer for your box lunch you want to go with longer skewers made of plastic that are easily reusable and NOT a choking hazard.... CLEARLY. Cookie cutters and even play dough cutters are also great tools when coming up with fun designs along the way.

I'll be sure to post some fun food designs along the way as I believe presentation is EVERYTHING!
