Bento 129 - City Mouse

Today's topping on E's macaroni bento is a city mouse, he is relaxing on a stack of hay while visiting the country mouse. ;)
Life has been hectic for me recently.. wish i could catch up with all my bento friends soon..

Bento 128 - Sausage Bears macaroni

Finally another chance to make a cute bento today and I felt so good to be able to post it up.  I made macaroni as usual as its E's favourite and easy to consume at school.

Decorate it with 2 sausage bears, cut the sausages into few rings, cut a slit in between, and insert the another thinner slice of sausage as ears. 
Hope this will bring a smile on his face today!

Bento 124 - Ouch! Its Mr. Bump

I carried on with my Mr. Men theme today, another popular character - Mr. Bump!
He is a careless and clumsy little guy, tripping and falling all the time..
Luckily Mr. Bump fell onto a bed of macaroni today.. lol..
I hope E will be more careful when he is playing , not injuring himself like Mr. Bump always did.. ;)
I boiled 2 tiny farm fresh egg, dye one of them with a tiny dot of blue food colour in a glass of water. Slice a section from the top and bottom of the blue egg, and replace by a section of the white egg for the bandage. Cut a small piece from back of the blue egg for the hands and legs.
Hope you all have a Lucky day just as Mr. Bump today! :)

Bento No. 122 - Mr. Happy

My Boy is a big fan of Mr. Men and Little Miss, I bought the first set of Mr. Men's book collection and he was hooked since then. We have read the stories over and over again.
Recently I found a good deal at online bookstore - Book Depository .co.uk for the Little Miss collection. And now we are on Little Miss stories every night..lol..
My first Mr. Men bento will be Mr. happy, he has the most pleasant character. He is always cheerful, optimistic and with a kind heart. Hope E will learn from him. :)

Bento 120 - Hi Little Puppy

Bento theme for today is a Little Puppy which is from an hard boiled egg moulded round by hand while it was warm. Attached two pieces of sausages for the ears. Place the puppy on a bed of macaroni (requested by E).
Inside the box are also grapes and sausage heart.

Bento 119 - Macaroni and Bears

Today E will have his favourite macaroni, I use a bear shape cutter to print on the cheese for the bear. Decorated the few slices of egg as little bears too!
Hope he likes his bento today! :)

Bento 111 - Little Bee

Though Ethan's School holiday has started this week, but he will be joining the school's holiday class for a week. The kids will have lots of fun activities at school.
So I still prepare simple bento for E.
Today's menu is his favourite macaroni and with a little bee made from egg.
You realised there is another picture of bread bento below.. that is for Little Miss E, she begins to show interest in his brother's bento. So I thought I can start making simple bento for her.
She love the Miffy and Minne Mouse cheese sammies so much that she even kiss the bread.. lol.. cute little girl..
So this is her first bento from mummy and my first double bento.
I can't wait to make double bentos for my kids when little Miss E starts schooling in 1 year time!

Bento 110 - Macaroni and eggs

Another day without any inspiration.. i actually stared at the bento box for 5 minutes and still don't know what to make. In the end, I just place a few rings of eggs on top of the macaroni and few animal shape cheese by using the cutters.
However, my son loved this bento so much that he kissed me on the cheek this morning. And when i pick him up from school today, he told me proudly his classmates gathered around him to admire his bento.
All these little things makes my day, and a lot of people might asked why spend so much time making lunch or snack for the kids and decorate them with cute little details.
well, now I can proudly says, when our kids appreciate our love in making bento for them, its just priceless.
