The menu booklet gives you a fun suggestion to make character food!
The box itself if a bento box design, which is very common in Japan, It has separate compartments, cutlery, and it all clips together with the lid. Of course it’s reuseable, so you can use it again and again withouth wasting packaging.

Jigsaw puzzles are very soothing, and this cute Ghibli 150 piece puzzles features a variety of scenes from Ghibli movies. Here is Totoro and Mini Totoro running along clutching their flowers. This is such a cute picture!
This Totoro Tumbler is a great item to pair with your bento box! It’s made from plastic with a reusable straw, and is even safe in the dishwasher! As the lid fits tightly it would even be useful to have in the car or on a picnic.
