First kid bento

Okay, so I found an opportunity to blog about bento sooner than I thought! I had told my sister about bento and that I thought it would be a great way to appease her daughter Annika, who is a very picky eater. She's not even three yet! On my trip home I brought a few small bento boxes, some cookie cutters, some disposable coated muffin cups, and a reuseable tiny container.

I was very excited to find out she made one for Annika the very next day which was Friday so I had to take a picture of it. Here it is:


It contains a heart-shaped ham and cheese sandwich, plain rotini pasta, and some corn. Not bad for a first try! My sister and her husband aren't foodies like Nick and I, so I didn't expect anything way out there. It will hopefully get better as she gets more used to the medium. I'd like to think I'd have a lot of fun with Annika's lunches if I had all my stuff down here with me, haha.

I'm trying to see if I can find any more bento supplies while I am down here. I'll let you know if I do!
