We love bento boxes for their lunch boxes. It allows us to give them options and keeps their food separated. Love the boxes that come with their own eating utensils.

My boys eat peanut butter and jelly almost daily. I use these cutters to make our freezer peanut butter and jelly sandwich stash. This saves you so much money. Uncrustables are great, but expensive, and this is an easy way to save you money.
