Useful Tools in making Bento
Most helpful tools in Bento making would be:
-small scissors (I use eyebrow scissors) for cutting ham and nori
-toothpicks or other pointy sticks for placing small parts and cutting hams and cheese substitutes
-paring knife for cutting small parts
-bubble tea straw can be used like a cookie cutter to make large oval or round shapes
-regular size straw can be used like a cookie cutter to make medium oval or round shapes
-small size straw can be used like a cookie cutter to make small oval or round shapes
(from the boxed juice)
Straws are great for you can squeeze and change its shape.

Nori Punches can make your life easy in making a face.
You can also use craft punches (but use exclusively for food.)
The pink one you see here is for making Sanrio characters.

Cookie cutters and vegetable cutters, are wonderful to cut out root vegetables, ham, and cheese substitutes. Some, they don't just give you the shapes but also eyes, nose, and other details.
Rice ball molds can also be used to press the bread to make a drawing on the sandwiches.

Food picks must be the easiest and fastest way to make your bento look so cute.
They add colors to the box and trigger your picky eaters to pick up and try.

And of course the bento boxes!
There are so many kinds around.
Individual boxes for kids, adult, and even thermos.
I enjoy packing the three-tier bento boxes for the whole family on picnics.
