I Make Fun Disney-Themed Lunches For My Kids To Take To School
I began making fun bento lunches for my daughter when she started kindergarten almost four years ago. I have no art or cooking background, but I found that I could somehow cut food into character shapes. The experience has brought us closer together and now my oldest son gets them as well.
My entire family shares a love of Disney movies and Disneyland. Because of this, a number of the lunches that I have made are Disney themed. I normally use ingredients that many American parents already have in their kitchens. I spend about 30 minutes once a week making these. They are a highlight of the week for my kids and me.
