Personal Note:
I create bento lunches for my daughter every day. I started making bento lunches for her when she was 18 months old as I needed to find an outlet to encourage her to try new foods and make healthy choices. She started kindy earlier this year (Feb 2014) and even though I had been making Bento lunches for her for the last four years, most of the time it was on a plate, not a lunchbox. My daughter eats a minimal amount of food. So I serve her almost the same lunch every day, but every day there is something different, something added and taken away and a different look. It keeps her interested in trying new foods without taking away the foods she loves and knows.
