I started packing charabens (decorative bentos) when my first-born entered elementary school. He missed me terribly then and had problems adjusting to the longer hours at primary school. I started packing him charabens, along with lunch notes, hoping to cheer him up and let him have something to look forward to at recess. Overtime, making cute food for my boys have become a hobby for me, which I indulge in whenever I'm free.
I just published my bento book last year, I hope it will be useful in helping parents who want to pack charabens for their kids, but have no idea where to start. I also share my creations both on my blog and my Instagram account.

Have you ever seen "Lunch On" on NHK World? They did a cute segment on creative bento boxes people make for their spouses.

I think these are awesome and you're doing a great job, such a creative mum...I would have never thought of this. And don't allow anyone to discourage there is always 1 that will throw in something negative. I see you enjoy what you are doing so KEEP GOING
I hate to be this person, but Ted is a very inappropriate movie for children so did you just tell them they are teddy bears or something along that line?
I was thinking the same. I admit that these Ted's look amazing and she's really talented, but It's kinda disturbig to see these in a post which is about things she makes for her children.

This reminds me of boys in my class putting their shoe on the table and yelling, "IM EATING A SHOE FOR BREAKFAST"
Just as hands-on engagement captivates young minds in scientific experiments, creating decorative bentos can also spark enthusiasm for kids during meal times.
By turning food into art, parents can inspire their children to approach lunchtime with the same curiosity and excitement seen in school science projects.
very cool! I might try my hand at this stuff when my kids go to school :)
Do you have a youtube channel? If you don't, you should consider getting one. :)
