Packing school lunches can be fun with these Healthy & Delicious Bento Lunches. Kids {and parents} will love to eat them too.

School starts next week…my baby is heading to 5th grade and my oldest is going into high school. Where has the time gone? It’s seems like yesterday we were getting ready for kindergarten with trying on new school clothes, gathering supplies from the teachers’ lists, and planning lunches.

I’m kind of picky when it comes to the kids’ school lunches. I think they need to be healthy for better learning…no junk, no sweets…there is a time and place for that (ahem…afterschool), but during the school day I want them at their best. Of course, they also need to be delicious so that the kids don’t skip eating. I try to come up with fresh ideas, but it seems that after a couple of months of packing lunches, I resort to sending sandwiches a little too often. So, I’m starting this year off with a bang by looking for lots of creative ideas for fun lunches. These 25 Healthy & Delicious Bento Lunches are just what I need to get me inspired.

In all honesty, I probably won’t make something like this every day. Probably once or twice a week…that’s all I can handle in my busy life! But these ideas are sure to keep the boring, monotonous lunches to a minimum.

There are tons of cute bento boxes on here, but this is my favorite bento box and what I use for my kids. You can go crazy with cute cutters, totally adorable egg shapers for hard boiled eggs, and even get an adult version too. Personally, I just use my favorite box for Hubbyman and myself when we need it.
