Icky Blue Bento

Day two of first grade - the first full length day. And as far as Day Three? I forgot to take a picture. But it was awesome. Trust me.


Top layer: Annie's spread, raw tofu, cucumber moons, soy sauce filled pig (hiding behind the box of spread).
Bottom layer: Herbed almonds, raspberry yogurt covered pretzels, rice thin crackers, chocolate cupcake. (not shown: snack container of smoked gouda popcorn and fruitabu)
Supergirl does not like this dragonfly bento box. Thursday (as I stuffed it in her backpack) was the first I had heard of this. She claims it is 'a strange color of blue'*. And 'please don't use it anymore', thusly becoming mine.
*This, coming from a child who will tell you that her favorite color is periwinkle.

that is the exact bento box that my niece heather (who is now reading gwendobento for her own lunch ideas..thank you gwendomama for helping to change the eating habits of all Mormon children...one Mormon child at a time) chose for herself when we went to the holy land of all things plastic and japanese in san mateo in july.

perhaps she didn't realize that it was a strange color of blue!

but now you have it. and can share YOUR bento lunches, too.

Ah, may you have years of creative lunch building ahead. My Things One and Two are in middle school and they have just discovered...the tiffin box. Cost Plus. Check it out.

I only bought one, so they have to alternate who gets the Bento lunch and who gets the Tiffin.
