FINALLY!!!!!!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you SO SO much for this post. I have been searching for REAL advice about what to pack for my 4 years old's lunch and YOU have come to my rescue. She picked her lunch box today but I just wasn't sure what to put in it or how to do it. I am so grateful for your blog. Hugs from Texas, Tara

Thanks so much for posting this. I'm getting ready for bts, though its not for another month!

If you have a local Borders bookstore, they have some cute containers which would make great bento boxes. I didn't see a BPA-free label on them, but I also did not pay attention to where they're made, etc…

Hi Wendy,
I have some more lunch ideas I thought I'd share for your list. Some I haven't tried yet and some are working well. We have had luck with spaghettios, a healthier version is annies organic stars but they are super expensive here in Canada. I'm planning to try egg salad, chicken and tuna salad. If you were worried about mayo you could omit and do italian or just olive oil. Another idea is cooked shrimp, this would need good refrigeration as well. Beef jerky and nuts if your kids can eat them and it's okay with the school. I send those for Hubby's lunch as fillers. For more fruit ideas my son likes dried apricots and clementines when they are in season. He just decided he likes plums, woo-hoo! For more veggies edamame on a tiny skewer is fun. My daughter likes pickled asparagus and pickles. At some point I hope they'll try olives but that's a little bit more sophisticated taste I suppose. I forgot pasta salad! And I have yet to try this but his prschool just made jello in a cup and homemade jello cups every now and again would jazz lunch up! Cheers!!!
