Preschool Bento #51 - Fish in the Sea

Today is Mr. Ben's last day of preschool. :o( We are really going to miss his teacher & this program. Faith went through it as well and we absolutely love it.

Since it's his last day, he needed a really cute bento. I love that his student teachers are intrigued with them too, so I hate to disappoint. I boiled eggs last night, so we opted for an "under the sea" theme today!


Ben has a hard-boiled egg, shaped like a fish. Said fishie is sitting in a sea of pasta salad (yes, I dyed the pasta blue). There are peas, a sprinkle of cheese and a bit of ranch dressing in the salad, and star fish carrots to make it cuter!

I was about to make cookies too, but the recipe requires the dough to chill and I don't have enough time to do both. Cookie post later today!

  2. that is cute enough that I might even attempt to do the eggs! And I would love to know how you dye the pasta also, That's a great idea!
    Do you have a really tiny cookie cutter for the carrots, or do you cut those by hand?

  3. Sure!

    Pasta, I dropped about 4 drops of food coloring into the water while it was boiling, before I added the pasta, then just cooked as normal.

    The teeny stars are "Wilton Fondant Cutters", about $3 at a craft store and so worth it! I bought flowers & stars, I may need a few more. ;o)
