Back to School Bento

Today I made some back to school themed bento lunches for the whole family. It's amazing how simply putting food in a bento box makes Laural want to eat it more than if I had simply placed it on a plate. Our bento today:

Top: A is for Apple, B is for Blueberries (on vanilla yogurt) and C is for Carrots (on broccoli)

(grapes and lettuce garnish the top)

Bottom: Steamed Carrots and Fried Rice with Chicken

So yummy! I made the same thing for each of us with the exception of omitting the blueberries on Micah's and mine. MIcah ate only the yogurt. Laural ate everything and then a little of Micah's!

She could hardly wait to open her bento.

Micah loves the little utensils and picks - he's got a spoon in his mouth and a giraffe pick in his hand.

Laural rearranged he bento to make a little scene - "C" trees and a little path for her puppy pick. LOL

I have submitted this bento at Hapa Bento for the B.O.M.B. for August. So many cute bentos over there. Go take a look!
