“Like a painter’s blank canvas, the possibilities are endless with bento making.”
A Filipino mother has combined her love for arts and crafts with the Japanese tradition of bento boxes to combat her children’s eating habits.

Nikki Garcia, told BuzzFeed, “I enjoy arts and crafts and all things creative, but with three kids, pottery, painting or scrapbooking it is just not possible.”
“Like many other mums, I barely have time for myself. Bento-making allows me to exercise my creative "me” time. [But] best of all, my kids benefit from my healthy food-art creations.“
Nikki Garcia
"With two picky eaters, I needed a way to assess how much food they were actually getting from their meals.”
“My toddler loves playing with her food but when I stick crackers or pre-packaged finger snacks in her lunch bag, it is not exactly the healthiest choice and I never know how much she is eating and how much ends up on the floor.”
Nikki Garcia
“I came across beautiful bento boxes on social media that not only looked super cool, but the food descriptions seemed tasty and simple enough to put together.”
“For the first time, my kids ate their snacks without protest.”
