My 11 year old son picked out the cutest bento box for his lunches! I love it because it's a great alternative to snack bags for his lunch items and it also prompts him to help me pick out some healthy foods to fill it with! I love when he gets involved and I see him making healthy, sustainable choices! So far for this month, we have used zero ziploc bags and zero plastic cutlery (it came with a little fork and spoon!).

  I love this sooo much, Jennifer!! Hey, as I think Windy posted last week: anyone who would like to learn how to make one of these bags can do so at the Headquarters Branch library this month. The class is offered on several times and dates! https://www.aclib.us/summer-library-adventure-awaits-june-1-august-4-2019/blog/upcycle-pet-food-bags-reusable-totes
