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.

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.
