10 Imaginative Bento School Lunches for your Kids
Today I am so happy to introduce to you Shannon Carino, the amazingly creative woman behind the blog, What’s for Lunch at our house. Her blog is devoted to creative bento lunch ideas like this adorable Cinderella princess lunch pictured above. I first met Shannon at a Blogher event just over a year ago. She is one of the sweetest, nicest blogging mamas I’ve met in real life. I was initially drawn to her aversion of minivans and all other stereotypical soccer mom things. Shannon has a very common sense approach to parenting and feeding her family a balanced and healthy diet that’s also fun. She was born and raised in Southern Ontario, but now resides with her husband and 2 children (8 and 5) in the suburbs of Dallas. Shanon’s popular blog has been featured on Dallas Morning News, AOL’s Parent Dish and Dallas Child.
It was really hard, but I’ve made a list here of my top 10 favorite bento lunches from her site.

MT SON WOULD HAVE BEEN EMBARRASSED TO OPEN HIS LUNCH BOX.
Uhh…
This is definitely the kind of mom I always WANTED to be, but I’m lucky if I have enough time to cook diner at night and throw breakfast together in the morning. I would need to get organized if I was ever going to be able to pull something like this off. My son is a tween now. He probably wouldn’t like any of these all that much but somebody creative enough to put these together has GOT to have some ideas up her sleeve for getting tweens and teens to eat healthy foods. Though I must say, teaching them to eat healthy at the young age where they would be influenced by these cool designs is a large part of the battle. Way to go. Seriously though, I’d love any advice you’ve come up with for tweens and teens because they eat like starving race horses.
