[Last Bento of Preschool Life] Surprise Your Child! Character Bento and Side Dish Ideas

Nursery Teacher Mom Writertsukada moe
After working for five years at an after-school childcare club and three years at a nursery school, I began working as a freelance writer. I’m a mother of two children. Inspired by playing the flute in the school wind ensemble in elementary school, I joined a jazz club at university. I’ve also incorporated ukulele and piano performance into childcare. Playing, laughing, feeling sad, feeling frustrated—through all kinds of experiences, I want children to grow.

Many parents probably feel that making bento lunches was a challenge during their child’s time at the preschool/kindergarten.

You’ve been preparing lunches with your child in mind, thinking about nutrition and color balance.

Once they move up to elementary school, there will be school lunches, so bento-making can take a break for a while.

For the last days of preschool/kindergarten life, let’s make a wonderful bento that will be a fun surprise.

Even if it’s a bit clumsy, it’s okay as long as it’s filled with a parent’s love.

Try packing a bento themed around your child’s favorite character or with stylish side dishes.

It will surely become a memorable keepsake.

Rolled sandwiches and rice balls are great ideas because, with a little creativity, you can make all kinds of characters.

In particular, if you make rolled rice balls using rice, they keep their shape and are delicious to eat.

Wrap them in a thin omelet and you’ve got Pikachu from Pokémon.

You can also use seaweed and cheese to make a face and create Sprigatito, which is popular with kids.

Use imitation crab sticks to transform them into Poké Balls! Of course, fill the rolled rice balls with ingredients your child loves.

Let’s make a lunch box packed with favorites that only their caregivers know about!
