Although it's sometimes said as a joke, every kid's favorite school subject is, for obvious reasons, lunch. However, for most parents, their most hated school-year duty is packing up those lunches every day. To make sure that kids get to experience their favorite subject with (healthy) gusto and to ensure that you don't feel like a robot every morning trying to figure out what the heck to pack them, you've got to check out these bento lunchboxes. With compartments for different food groups — and some that are designed to keep food either hot or cold — it'll be hard not to pack your kiddo a well-portioned, healthy lunch that won't come back half-eaten!
