If toddler is between 3-5 years old - Bento box should be about 400ml in size. If 6-8 then Bento box should be about 500ml in size. Check the bottom of the Bento box for the capacity in ml. It is usually in embossed letters. Source from: http://item.rakuten.co.jp/yellowstudio/c/0000000352/ <blockquote><em><font color=blue>Bento pet, wow, thanks for the info!

Judy, I put them in a insulated lunch box together with a couple of those frozen gel icepacks. She usually eats in about 3 hours so it’s still ok.

Looks like a lot of food for a toddler. <blockquote><em><font color=blue>Really ar? U think it's too much? I am not sure how much a toddler should eat so usually I pack a little more. In this case, she likes mac& cheese, so I usually pack more of that for her. :) </font></em></blockquote> If toddler cannot eat much, why not just pack one layer instead of two so there is no wastage and no over eating.

Really ar? U think it’s too much? I am not sure how much a toddler should eat so usually I pack a little more. In this case, she likes mac& cheese, so I usually pack more of that for her. :)

I like the bento rule - that means I can have more food. :P Maybe you can do without those foil and paper - just put the M&C, turkey slices, celery side-by-side compact. <blockquote><em><font color=blue>I guess I could do that but I will have to squeeze to fit everything in. Will have to try it out. :D </font></em></blockquote> Very nice :) .
