Bento box lunch ideas for kids have to be simple. I know it’s fun to search out elaborate creations online, but as someone with three kids, I don’t have time to weave together anything uber-creative at 6:45 in the morning.

I need a balanced meal that my children will eat. Basically… I need bento ideas my kids will like to consume AND I will like to make.

The truth of the matter is that my youngest child doesn’t eat sandwiches. My oldest child doesn’t eat meat. My middle child doesn’t eat peanut butter or cold cuts. I feel like I’m running a restaurant at times and I know that you understand the feeling. 

It’s important to keep everyone’s dietary and personal preferences in mind, but it’s also important to stay mindful of your own time and energy. The last thing we need to do is to start off the day in a HUFF because there are too many tasks on your plate.
