Our Bento Adventures this week

Our week in Bento Boxes......

Monday: I used the CuteZCute cutter for the sandwich (using a regular slice for the actual face and then cutting out the eyes, ears and mouth from the crust end so that I got a different colour), a few carrots and peas with a cute little bear pic, a homemade choc chip cookie we made together the night before.  Then for her other box I sliced up some strawberries using my strawberry cutter (all about cute presentation!), a Babybel with star cut out, and then a boiled egg.  For the boiled egg I used my cute little egg molds, this one was a rabbit.  Basically all you do is make your regular boiled egg, peel when still hot, then place into the greased mold while hot and then into the fridge as normal.  The next morning or probably a few hours later the molded egg is all cute and ready to use!

Tuesday: Another CuteZCute Bento day today, they are too much fun!  She got a cute little piggy sandwich today, with a teddy bear cup filled with Dora fruit snacks, a fishy up filled with pretzel sticks, and some cucumber stars, red peppers and snap peas with a cute little leaf pic making the cucumber into a star flower :D  Her snack box had adorable heart shaped strawberries (starting to brainstorm for Valentine's day!), a heart cut out of her BabyBel cheese and some cheddar cheese mini rice cakes.

Wednesday: Today I was just winging it, I wasn't sure a complete plan so I just started and this is what I came up with.  I sliced bread into 4 squares to make it fun and kind of a snack size.  But then I ended up piecing the squares together to get the square face.  Plopped a blueberry for the nose, some decorating edible eyes (Wilton) and a cute red pepper smile....it just wasn't complete though so I went into the fridge and grabbed a string cheese.  I cut the string into 2 pieces and then started peeling the two pieces to make some crazy hair to complete the face!  On the side is some cut up yellow and red peppers (my kid just LOVES peppers so I run with it!)  The other box has some more heart strawberries and blueberries, with a cup of alphabits (Received free to test and review from www.bzzagent.com) and a cute little teddy bear pic peeking out of the letters, then a little cookie for her treat that day.

Thursday's box was posted in a previous post, it was a winter/spring theme.

Its finally Friday!!  Might as well make a cute and fun Bento to liven up spirits during this very cold -30 winter weather we are having (poor kids didn't even get recess yesterday because it was too cold).  So I cut out a couple flowers and made peanut butter flower sandwiches, complete with cucumber grass, leaves and stems and a red pepper center.  Above is a variety of flower veggies (Yellow and red peppers, cucumbers, and carrots) and of course some cute leaf pics to make the flowers complete.  The other box has a mix of snacks (alphabits, goldfish, craisins and an apricot), a flower BabyBel, a few cherry tomatoes and a flower cup of blueberries with a little bear peeking out......please come soon spring!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!  Happy creating......
