Looking for a bento lunch box for your child? At Tiny Giggles you will find bento lunch boxes from b.box, Yumbox, Carl Oscar, Kidzroom, Sugarbooger and Petit Monkey. A bento box for kids with separate compartments keeps sandwiches, fruit, vegetables and snacks neatly apart, so lunch still looks just as tasty at school as it did at the kitchen table that morning.
The word bento comes from Japan, where a bento is a meal packed in a box with different compartments. A bento lunch box works the same way: instead of one big space, you have several sections. That means the sandwich does not get soggy from the cucumber and the grapes stay whole. For children, it makes lunch clear and appealing, and for parents it is easy to pack a varied, healthy lunch every day.
A kids' bento box is also a sustainable choice. You no longer need plastic bags or cling film, because every part of the lunch has its own place. Many bento lunch boxes are free from BPA, PVC and phthalates and are dishwasher safe, so they last for years.
When choosing a kids' lunch box, look mainly at your child's age, the number of compartments and what goes into the lunch.
For young children, a small, light bento box that they can open themselves works best. The Carl Oscar bento box is suitable from 3 years, weighs just 300 grams and has easy-to-open clips, a leak-proof lid, a small extra container and multi-cutlery. The silicone lunch boxes from Kidzroom are also suitable from 3 years and cheerful thanks to their cute designs, such as a bear or a dinosaur. And the b.box MINI lunch box is a great mini bento box for kids' snacks: it has a flexible compartment for fruit and two leak-proof sections for puree, yoghurt or dips.
For older children, lunch can be a little bigger. The b.box lunch box for children from 5 years has a large compartment for a whole sandwich, bagel or roll, and a removable tray so you can also use it for pasta or salad. Under the sandwich tray sits a gel cooler that keeps food cool and fresh for longer. The Sugarbooger Good Lunch bento box has three compartments with high inner walls and a click lid, and it can go in the microwave (without the lid) and the freezer.
Most bento lunch boxes are made of sturdy, food-safe plastic that is light and can take a knock. Yumbox uses Tritan for its inner tray, a plastic that stays clear and strong. The Kidzroom lunch boxes are made of soft silicone, nice for little hands. Whichever material you choose, look for a mention such as BPA-free and check the product page to see whether the bento box is dishwasher or microwave safe.
Want to pack yoghurt, apple sauce or a dip as well? Then a leak-proof Yumbox bento box is a great choice. Thanks to the silicone lid, the compartments stay sealed from each other, so nothing leaks into the backpack. The Yumbox Original has six compartments and is ideal for children who like a little bit of everything, while the Yumbox Panino has four compartments with room for a bigger sandwich. Both are compact (22 x 15 x 5 cm), weigh about half a kilo and have a removable Tritan inner tray. Note: Yumbox is leak-proof for yoghurt and dips, but not for water or other thin liquids.
A bento box invites variety. A few ideas to keep your child's lunch box healthy and fun:
Let your child help choose and pack. Children are more likely to finish their lunch when they have helped make it. To keep food cool, put the bento lunch box in an insulated lunch bag. For warm meals such as soup or pasta, a thermos food jar is more practical.
The bento lunch boxes come in many colours and prints, from calm shades such as graphite, midnight and blue slate to bright colours such as flamingo fizz and lemon sherbet, and even Hello Kitty. Looking for something specific? Then browse our selection of bento lunch boxes for boys or bento lunch boxes for girls.
A bento box is the heart of a good school lunch. Combine it with a matching bottle from our kids' water bottles and a few extra snack boxes and fruit containers for break time. Prefer a classic sandwich box? Then take a look at our lunch boxes. Lost a cooling pack or lid? For many lunch boxes you will find separate accessories and spare parts. Everything for lunch at school is in our lunch collection.
That depends on the model. The Yumbox lunch boxes and the two sealed sections of the b.box MINI are leak-proof for yoghurt, puree and dips. Other bento boxes are meant for dry food. The product page shows this for each model.
Many models can, usually on the top rack. For lunch boxes with a silicone seal, such as Yumbox, hand washing is recommended to make the seal last longer.
The Carl Oscar, Kidzroom and Sugarbooger bento boxes are suitable from 3 years, which makes them a good bento lunch box for toddlers and preschoolers. The large b.box lunch box is designed for children from 5 years.
A classic lunch box usually has one space for sandwiches. A bento box has several compartments, so you can pack a varied lunch without everything getting mixed up.
