They're not fancy and usually involve containers with silicone cups. I have a Yumbox bento for LO1 to bring to school. I usually just pack leftovers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-do-bentos#post-2451181 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 14:06:12 +0000 pinkcupcake 2451181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was never good at the super fancy bentos, but we have a 5 compartment lunch box that gets used everyday and I fill it with a variety of foods (usually turkey, cheese, some sort of fruit, crackers, etc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-do-bentos#post-2451180 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 14:04:57 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2451180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't because daycare provides their meals. But I remember when it was a big thing - I loved seeing all those ideas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-do-bentos#post-2451176 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 13:58:53 +0000 kodybear 2451176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we use a yumbox for dd. i love the idea that she has a variety of things to eat and choose from. i def don't do cute bento decor tho. no time for that! once ds is in the 2s class i'll have him starting using a yumbox too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-do-bentos#post-2451155 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 13:45:51 +0000 jape14 2451155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use a yumbox to pack lunch for DS but I don't do anything cute or bento-like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-do-bentos#post-2451148 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 13:41:26 +0000 autumnlove 2451148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, we use a bento box for the conpartments but they aren't cute...just leftovers! I don't call them bentos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-do-bentos#post-2451139 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 13:33:00 +0000 Anagram 2451139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I still use a thermos bento for LO, but it's just for keeping different foods hot, not for making meals "cute". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-do-bentos#post-2451101 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 12:59:20 +0000 KT326 2451101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kind of? We have a 4 compartment Yumbox and I back a variety of food for my preschooler on days he doesn't get the hot lunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-do-bentos#post-2451090 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 12:57:11 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2451090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember back with my daughter, Bento lunches were a big thing around here on HB. Now, I rarely hear about it.</p> <p>For my son, we have the Easy Lunch boxes that are just 3 compartments with 1 lid. Its nice to pack some food with some sides. Not a real bento but a variety. </p> <p>I'm really mad I lost my Dr. Sears Nibbler tray and they dont make it anymore. Please let me know if anyone has one they want to sell! </p>
