Summary:

So to make myself smile, my kiddo smile (potty humor is big around here), and hopefully some of my followers smile, today I made a bear pooping in the woods bento. And I want to tell everyone, I was inspired by Baby Sideburns’ bento! Thanks Baby Sideburns!

Summary:

Bento Boxes are a fun and popular way to serve up fun lunches for kids. Traditionally these boxed lunches were simple meals created by people of Japanese culture, but the ever popular Kyaraben or Character Bento Boxes have made their way to the United States and other countries abroad! Check out these great ideas from around the web and inspiration to make your children's lunches creative too!

Summary:

Like most kids, my two love the concept of the -able lunches. I've bought them occasionally over the years, but they are typically not enough food and the kids like the concept over the taste. It's much easier to make my own, tailored to their tastes and adding in enough extra food to keep them sated.

Summary:

I am all about making fun and creative food! I couldn't wait to recreate some of these fun lunches so I had Eliana go through and pick one. We ended up picking the shark bento, which we both loved. The great thing about Happy Bento is that even if you don't have everything exactly the same you can still make the lunch and use it as a source of inspiration. I don't have a lot of the exact cutters, punches, or silicone cups that were used in some of the bentos, but I can easily recreate the lunches using what I have at home.

Summary:

Nowadays, it is important to be creative in preparing snack or meal for the kids. The more colorful the meal is, the greater the variety of foods your kids might eat. Making panda and bear faces out of bread and give foods it crazy names are cool ideas. Anything cute or little is always a hit for kids. Use bread and fruit cutters to turn their food into flower shape, which kids always love.
