But I came across some bento pics from recent weeks that I never posted. So here they are! It's their time to shine. Or at least, not be lost and forgotten in old picture files.
First up, a Goodbyn Bynto
box lunch:
- granny smith apple slices (dipped in juice to prevent browning)
- Whole Foods cereal bar and homemade granola bar, and Ritz crackers
- turkey and cheddar cheese
Judging by the bento pick with the ornament on it, this bento predates Christmas!
Second up, another Bynto box lunch: (I could have sworn I had posted this one! I can't find it on the blog though...still, I apologize if this one's a repeat!)
- carrots and grapes in a jumbo silicone cup
- turkey and cheddar cheese, cut into bunny head shapes
- mini saltine crackers
To cut those bunny heads I used a small metal rice shaper tool, like this one.
And finally, a Lock & Lock lunch:
- mini saltine crackers
- Whole Foods cereal bar
- homemade granola bar
- carrots
- turkey and cheese, cut with an elephant cutter (discontinued special offer from Jello YEARS ago)
This box seems to be out of stock at a couple places I checked. I'm not positive, but it looks like it might be getting replaced by this new style. Not sure what I think about that!
Has anyone bit the bullet and bought a Bynto lately? I have to say, I'm kinda wishing I had tried it sooner. We love this box! It's been the most-used box for Ethan's lunches since getting it. :)

I bought a bynto a few months ago, then my fiance bought the original goodbyn after he saw how nice mine was. I love those lunch boxes, we don't even have kids! We use them for our own lunches haha.
That's awesome! I've used the Goodbyn (the big one) for my lunches too - the giant "head" section is perfect for salads. :)
I just bought a bynto last week, and it's been perfect for my daughter's lunches! (I still love her EasyLunchboxes, but the Goodbyn is quickly earning its place in the rotation!)
How do you send it to school? Do you just stick it in the backpack like it is or do you have a case for it? What about a drink? I saw a Goodbyn at a discount shop here but I passed over it.
Walmart sometimes has the Good Cook 3-pc cookie cutter set with an elephant. It's not as nicely defined as your Jello one, but it is still fun. I usually see it on an end cap near the produce/freezer section. There's also a sea animal themed one.
This is what it looks like. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Good-Cook-3pc-Cookie-Cutter-Set/15376275 I have used the alligator cutter the most.
I have heard complaints about the Goodbyn being difficult to open and close securely. Is this Bynto version better? Something a kindergartener/first grader could handle?
Nikki - the Bynto fits in a standard sized lunchbox! So I put it in a lunchbox, with an ice pack and his drink (usually a Thermos Funtainer of milk). :)
Rebecca - those are super cute!
Gosh, I really need to do my review of this box already - Rebecca, the Bynto is WAY easier to open and close than the original.
I bought 4 Byntos last week at the 40% off facebook store!!!! Can't wait till they arrive!
Darn! I've been meaning to get a Lock and Lock box for-evah and now they're GONE? Wah!
Amazon still has the lock and lock boxes.
