I forgot to post this the other day, so figured to post it now. Ben needed a dinner bento the other night as well, so he had one pretty much like his sister's.
Ben's bento was pretty similar to Faith's--ham & cheese sandwiches on Nature's Own Honey Wheat Bread, cut into elephants with our new Lunch Punch! How awesome are the elephants, it's a whole "Peanut" sandwich, Mommy & baby! Susan at Hawaii's Bento Box used the cute little candy eyes on one of her creations last week, so I borrowed a bit of inspiration from her again.
Ben had carrots & celery, with a little bit of creamy tomato dressing in the container. Again, same as Faith's--I mixed some homemade tomato soup with a bit of cream cheese to make a dipping sauce, it worked. On the right, he has blueberry banana bread complete with his Peanut pick and some grapes, cantaloupe & blackberries. It's packed in our EasyLunchbox, I'm using those a lot lately.
Someone asked on this post where I got the candy eyes? They are for cake/cookie decorating and my mom actually got them for me at a little candy shop near her house in Canada. They are just little sugar dots, I think I've seen them at craft stores with the baking & cake decorating items in the US.

Where did you get the dip container? And do they come more "teen" themed, or mostly just cutesy for littler kids?
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I love the lunch punch sandwiches!
ReplyDeleteLove it. I want to get those sandwich punches. So cute.
ReplyDeleteThe sweet owner of Lunch Punch is letting me give away a set--either the puzzle pieces or the animal ones. I'll probably have it up soon. She'll do the mailing so I can host the contest from Canada (my other giveaways involve me having to mail things, so those will have to wait till we are home).
