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.
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??
willow i think with doing it with little containers you can choose the size of containers so it might not always be the same ones..
im shocked that the kindy asked for you so do it in zip lock bags... alot of schools are trying to stop plastic wraps and bags being used for the kids...
ETA i just looked on ebay and there are some beautigul ones there is a japanese one with cutters and little bottles..
ill put the link in but remove it if i shouldnt (I removed it, people can search ebay - Nelle xo)
