Do u heat the left side or do the kids eat that RT? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-pack-in-this-bento#post-2712379 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 11:36:26 +0000 lawbee11 2712379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2littlepumpkins: Yeah, it's warm. I usually pack the night before but if I'm doing pasta I'll heat up the pasta and add it in the morning. So it's usually room temperature by the time my LO eats it (which she prefers because she's sensitive to heat) and we haven't had any issues! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-pack-in-this-bento#post-2712374 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 11:17:10 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2712374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: is that pasta in the first pic hot? I have the same one but I've always only put cold foods because I didn't know if it was safe to mix hot in one compartment and cold in another.. plus I also put cold packs in the lunch bag. If it's hot how do you make that work? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-pack-in-this-bento#post-2712358 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 10:26:09 +0000 PinkElephant 2712358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: OMG the hot dog ghosts (or are they squid/octopus?) - so cute!!!</p> <p>Are your kids' schools good about returning bento supplies (like the silicone cupcake liners)? We're new to sending lunches to school, and I've been using paper ones b/c I'm afraid they'll toss my silicone ones! I used to buy them at Daiso for $1/pack and didn't care, but now that I can't replace them so cheaply, I don't want them getting thrown out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-pack-in-this-bento#post-2712352 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 10:15:29 +0000 travellingbee 2712352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beehive: Wow your kid eat a lot of vegetables!! :shocked: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-pack-in-this-bento#post-2712221 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 17:01:29 +0000 Beehive 2712221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bentos are great!

I pack sandwich or wrap in the big section, then a fruit and a veggie in the next 2 biggest, crackers/pretzels in the 2nd smallest and dried cranberries or yogurt covered raisins in the smallest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-pack-in-this-bento#post-2712171 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 15:40:07 +0000 travellingbee 2712171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I was thinking mini marshmellows in there for a treat :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-pack-in-this-bento#post-2712170 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 15:38:47 +0000 youboots 2712170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do these for daycare for T 2x a week.</p> <p>Avacado, shredded cheese, chopped ham or turkey, black beans, cottage cheese, raspberries, blueberries, fried rice, steamed broccoli, mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, peas, corn, etc </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-pack-in-this-bento#post-2712167 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 15:36:57 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2712167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just google bento ideas for *age* child. There are lots of ideas on the Hellobee blog too. </p> <p>The little round section Ive mostly seen people put a few raisins or M&amp;Ms for a treat in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-pack-in-this-bento#post-2712160 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 15:25:20 +0000 yoursilverlining 2712160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anything! Those are nice amounts of space in that bento. </p> <p>How about small sandwiches in the largest far-right compartment, hummus in the middle circle, baby carrots or small crackers directly above, celery sticks (or other veggie for dipping into hummus) in the long bottom space and cut up fruit in the left top space. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-pack-in-this-bento#post-2712156 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 15:18:49 +0000 travellingbee 2712156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never packed lunch in a bento box before, but bought some for my four-year-old, hoping to make packing lunch easier. I know it depends on each child's individual taste, but I'm looking for ideas. So what would you put in each of these compartments do you think? </p> [attach=3175/17/omz73d.600x450.IMG_9584.JPG]
