GroovyGirl continues to have fun with bento box making. I love the house with "snow" falling around it...she made the snow by poking holes out of white cheese. The coloring on the house was done using Foodoodler edible markers.

Bento Box Lunches
For the past year or so, my dd has been interested in Bento Box style lunches. We've read various books about Bento boxes and she had made up her own boxes using disposable plastic containers.
For Christmas she received her very own, bright pink, Bento Box. The lunchbox is flat and is called a "Laptop Lunch Box" b/c it it kind of reminds you of a little laptop - albeit bright pink. I think it cost about $28 (included shipping) and there was also a little book that came with it (which was rather d.
The inside is divided up and has small containers that all fit in nicely and some of the containers have lids. The box also contains a small fork and spoon.
My daughter loves it.
She's homeschooled so she generally eats lunch at home - but that doesn't stop her from making her little Bento Box lunches. Here is the one she made for herself today.
It has a quartered orange, peanut butter sandwich, cheese/pepperoni "kabobs", and grated carrot (to be eaten with a fork or spoon - she loves carrots) and the tiniest container (which can be used to hold something like salad dressing) which housed a mixture of micro-mini marshmallows and chocolate chips). Yesterday she had some apple slices cut up to look like rabbits.
Now if only I could get the boy interested in Bento and then I wouldn't have to make lunches for him either :)
The whole Bento thing is very fascinating to me as well - and I think if I worked outside the home, I'd be tempted to buy myself one just like it (though maybe not in bright pink!). Problem is it does take a bit of work - though depends on how fancy you want your lunch to be. Here are some cool Bentos on Flickr.

Silly Sandwich
This was just a hurried creation yesterday when I had other things on my mind...I wish I had had more time for it...some bean sprouts or alfalfa sprouts would have made some nice hair.
I love the tongue sticking out of the mouth :) This idea is not my own ...here is my inspiration and looking at it reminds me I've a long way to go!
Food for children - I love the idea of making it not only taste good but for it to be visually appealing. If it looks interesting I think they are more likely to want to consume it (or in the case of the angry sandwich BE consumed by IT). The whole "Bento Box" idea is very intriguing to me...my daughter sometimes makes her own bento meals and thinks it's great fun.
