This really wasn't one of our more exciting bentos, in that it required very little work on my part. It's just food I already had on hand, a knife and a cookie cutter, but it made the boy happy! We had had a bigger lunch before preschool, so he needed more of a snack and less of a small meal.
Ben had a homemade brownie heart (Why does the top layer flake off brownies anyhow? This looked better before I tried to put it into the bento!) and some canteloupe and grapes. We are out of watermelon and I can't keep up with the fruit demands in this house. Seriously, the other day, the two of them ate a lb of grapes in one sitting and they can easily devour half a canteloupe at once. I need a garden out back, I think.

I hear you on the fruit consumption! Mine go through a ton - especially berries. I have been thinking about growing strawberries this summer, but I'm not sure any of them will make it to the kitchen - I'm fairly certain my son and daughter will be eating them right off the plants as soon as they can. LOL
ReplyDeleteI tried to grow cantelope in my back yard but the squirrels ate them. They took one bite out of each cantelope, ruining every single one of them. Grrrr.
