Thanks for stopping by the page I made for The Kawaii Bento Club!
I'll have to admit, until about 2 or 3 weeks ago, I had never heard of Bento, now I am very intrigued. I have two very picky eaters. I try to feed them nutritiously, but it gets very difficult at times. I'm not sure about my oldest child, but I know my youngest child has a very good excuse for his pickiness. He was diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder, so his senses work a little different from other children's. My oldest probably has the same condition, but he has not been diagnosed. Anyways, my youngest child will actually start physically gagging on food that is the wrong texture or if it has a taste that he can not tolerate. Food time is very difficult. They eat a nutritious lunch everyday, but it is the same thing day in and day out and it gets really boring. I want to learn more about these Bento boxes to see if maybe they could help my children try new foods and still eat healthy.

Pictures of Bento Lunches
These are not my pictures! I found them on Flickr. I thought there was a good selection here to see what Bento was all about.
