Bento boxes are all the rage these days and Jessica Woo should be called a bento box artist for the incredibly creative ideas she comes up with. This Minions-inspired lunch is one of our favorites but you can also find less labor-intensive ideas like this gorgeous lunch that’s basically just some jazzed-up leftovers.

Rossini

Rossini, the creator behind @tinatakeslunch on Instagram and TikTok is also a fan of a bento box lunch. While these look fancy, they couldn’t be easier to make. Just look at how she transformed leftover mac and cheese and popcorn into an awe-inspiring lunch.

OK, we may not always have the time to create lunches as creative as these but just imagine how excited your kid will be when they open up the above Hocus Pocus-themed lunch on Halloween or this dino-themed lunch on their birthday. We love this account for special occasion lunch ideas that kids will remember for years to come.
