Any Bento Lunch Box Nerd Mummies?

[christy]

We have a tupperware lunch box that has a sandwich section and then 2 small sections and 1 in between size.

M's average lunch has:
1 small carrot sticks
1 small mini wheat bites (fruit inside)
1 vege mite sandwich cut into bits
1 rice crackers (seaweed are the favourite atm)

But we also add things like
mini quiches (done in mini muffin trays)
savoury muffins (mini muffin again)
rice snacks (the ones that are spicy and different flavours)
hummous in a small one to dip the carrot sticks in
fried crispy noodles
ham roll ups (in a tortilla with a smear of avocado)

ETA: if you google bento box there are some cool ones you can buy.... AND cool recipes!! Cai my neighbour used to make these rice snacks in the main section... like wrapped around a red bean mix or something? I think it was called Oni something....

I've just bought a bento box for Z today, YAY! I've kinda been doing this since he started preschool, it's just been in ziplock bags & seperate containers, now I can do it properly.

We have the tupperware version and have been using them for about 12 months now. Both kids have one and DH has one too!

My only problem is if I fill all 4 compartments, it's too much for DD for a day at preschool, too much wastage. Today for example she had:

1 x multigrain sandwich with raspberry jam
sultanas
a tub of yoghurt

So there was one empty compartment.

Her preschool have asked us to pack their lunches in separate zip bags but I'm ignoring them! I didn't pay $20-30 (can't remember how much it was) for her lunchbox to then go and waste money on sandwich bags.

Ange - if we're going out for the day I pack a box for DS too, so Lulu's not too young to join in! I used to pack one for him when I worked part time and he went to MILs for the day. He probably ate more of his than DD did! LOL.

I'm not a fan of the tupperware ones, purely because you can't move around the sections. I want to see everyone elses pics too

Cai - Just checked out your pics and I don't geddit...what do you mean about moving the sections around? I thought you meant you could make the sections smaller/larger which would be cool, but yours look like 4 the same size??
