In celebration of another year of learning, I put together a list of some of our favorite back to school bento lunch box ideas. I hope these ideas inspire you as they have inspired me. The creators of these bento boxes are RIDICULOUSLY talented and totally creative! I bow down to their lunch box mastery.

What is a Bento Box?

Bento is a single-portion meal packed in a bento box. Typically, bento boxes are plastic compartmentalized boxes with lids. The bento box craze sweeping across the country is to arrange foods in a fun way for kids. They can be as simple as adding different fruits, veggies and proteins in each compartment of the bento box, or as elaborate as arranging food to resemble favorite comic characters!
