This Mom Makes Character Bento Box School Lunches That Are Totally Brag-Worthy
If you had heart-shaped sandwiches or little notes in your school lunches as a kid, you probably felt pretty special. One mom takes that “made with love” school lunch idea to the next level with character-based bento boxes, and they’re next-level.
Sera Winston-Kascak is the creative mom who shared these masterpieces on Twitter. She has been making them for her four-year-old son for a year now, Insider reports. The boxes feature characters from Monsters, Inc. and Minions, along with animals and Halloween-themed figures. A variety of foods make up the boxes but sushi rolls, spaghetti, and rice bring the character portions to life.
Her inspiration for the lunches comes from growing up in Okinawa, Japan. "In Japan, we do have school lunches, but usually once a week or once a month is 'bento no hi,'" Winston-Kascak told the site. That translates to bento day, which is dedicated to making children nothing less than extravagant lunches.
The good news is, you can meal-prep these creations ahead of time. Winston-Kascak typically preps the boxes on Sundays for the week ahead. If you do that, you'll have to carve out two-to-four hours depending on what you're aiming to create.
The people have spoken on Twitter, and they're into it. They want her to start making videos of her creations and low-key wish she could make their lunches every day, too. Here's to hoping one of those happens, at least!
