Before we start into the kids lunch ideas, we need to add a warning or disclaimer or whatever word you’re comfortable with. The following lunch ideas were made by many super human moms. It makes us feel better to think they have a ton of extra time, only made one lunch for the picture and spend 100% of their time on making these lunches. We like to make it seem like we’re not the only ones with thrown together lunches as we’re literally running out the door with the kids, backpacks, breakfast hanging out of our mouths and a nagging feeling we’re forgetting something. That, in a nutshell, is how we spend our mornings. This is organizedCHAOS for a reason. Take each image with a grain of salt. The idea is there and you can do with it what you want. Perfection isn’t the goal – it’s just about feeding your child and moving on. Oh, and looking like a rad parent in the meantime. At the end of this post, we will list all supplies that will make your bento box lunch preparation a simple one.It’s all about the tools…and budget. It’s not pricey at all. Order, check your doorstep, grocery shop, make the lunch, enjoy time for yourself.

If you are the plan ahead type, make a grocery list for two weeks and pack the easy stuff early on. If you are the last minute type, grab what you had for dinner the night before and makeit bento-friendly. It’s truly that simple. A TIP: Have enough lunch carriers and containers to last the week. That way, you aren’t having to wash those suckers every night. What a pain. Turns out, you have more important things to do. visit our school lunch supply store – click for more
