This site may have been shared before, but I thought I'd post it here with all the recent talk about school lunches. Looks like they have some great tips and neat products!
I have the box set from laptop lunches. I thought I would I would love it, but we hardly use it now. Allie hated them. The lids on some of them are hard to get off. Some do not have lids. It ended up being bulky and she wanted something different. I think I spent like 50 on the whole thing with the case and all.
I've put together my own bento. The one I originally wanted for Raven she couldn't open. I got two different size plastic container and silicone baking cups. It depends on what she is taking if I use them. I would put shrimp/chicken and vege in their own silicone cup and then mac and cheese in the container. I always put her fruit in its own reusable bag. Most of the time she only needs the small container and the bags.
