Bento boxes are a lot of fun for young kids because it is like having a box of snacks! They are great for people who don't like to have their food touching or for things like homemade Lunchables or charcuterie lunch boxes. The only problem with them is that they tend to be a lot larger than a standard lunchbox and they often come in styles for younger kids. I would recommend bento boxes for older kids that still enjoy them!
