About this Image
This Bento Lunchbox Colouring Page shows a neatly packed lunch ready for a school day or picnic. Kids can color the lunchbox compartments, rice, sandwich pieces, fruit, and other tasty foods they spot in the picture. It is a fun choice for preschool and early elementary children who enjoy naming foods and imagining their perfect packed lunch. Ask children to choose one food for each compartment, then talk about which foods they would eat first. For an easy activity, let them use different colors for each food group or create a pretend lunchbox menu beside the page. Try this after coloring: Spend one minute having the child count the lunchbox compartments, name every food, and choose a favorite item for a pretend school lunch. After coloring, help the child draw a second bento box and add three foods from home, then role-play packing it for a picnic.
