When it comes to finding the perfect lunchbox for my kids, boy, did I shop until I found the best product on the market: American-style bento boxes for kids at www.laptoplunches.com
What is a bento?
A bento is a compact, balanced, visually appealing meal packed in a reusable box that is made up of small compartments and lids. This earth-friendly system encourages the art of food presentation, portion control, and eliminates the use of Ziploc bags, aluminum foil, and other disposable products.
Laptop Lunches are family-friendly bento boxes designed to help parents pack their kids nutritious, eco-friendly lunches. The lunch boxes include a flat box which opens to reveal four containers that are perfectly sized for kids' lunches.
Despite the hefty price tag ($43.99 each!) -- the Lap Top Lunch system is a quality product that has stood up to, and surpassed, my expectations. My older kids still use the lunch boxes I bought them years ago, which, despite every day use, are still in like-new condition. Last year, I bought my youngest daughter the redesigned version, which we love MORE than the original. The containers are extra-deep and include two lid-covered containers, instead of one.
The Benefits of Bento:
The tray-like feel makes lunch fun. My kids love the built-in compartment that encloses real stainless steel cutlery (included!).
Two containers come with sealable lids that prevent wet foods from leaking onto other foods. A third container is included for sauces, salad dressings, and dips.
The durable plastic containers are microwave safe and BPA-free.
Presenting food in a bento box makes food visually attractive, which encourages kids to eat healthfully. Lunch has never looked so good!
Brown bags are out. Bentos are IN!
