Bento Boxes? Ikea or Container Store

[jacksmomma]

Does Ikea or the Container Store carry bento boxes or anything that can be used like a bento box?

I haven't seen any at Ikea but I have at the Container Store. They had several different ones last time I looked, which was just before Thanksgiving.

You can use any container as a bento box. One of my favorited for DS is a lock n lock knock off from Dollar Tree. I put three tiny round colored silicone bowls to divide things and that leaves a long compartment for a string cheese along the bottom. You can also use cute sandwich containers in the same way.

If you want real bento boxes check out the sources at lunchinabox.net

We have 2 girls in our preschool that have used the laptop bento box. I can honestly say I HATE those things! There have been many times that the lunch has come in and spilled into their bags or as they are putting it away bump it and all the food falls on the floor. I completely understand the "green" part but the poor child looses a lot of their lunch this way! But that is strictly my opinion for them!
