Bento Style Luncboxes - 2nd Kinder Week

Last week was Mr 3's 1st week at Kinder. This week, Mr 3 has settled in incredibly quickly to his new kinder and I've got into the routine of preparing his lunches. 

The evening before I have fun with cookie cutters, making shapes of the fruit and vegetable portions for his lunchbox and in the morning, before taking him to kinder, I quickly prepare the sandwich portion. I'm enjoying the bento style of different shapes and textures, and so is Mr 3. 

In the lunchbox picture above there are avocado sandwiches, along with carrot and rockmelon bunnies.  

The most successful to date, by measure of what's left in the lunchbox when I see it after kinder, was the below lunchbox. There's toasted cheese (which was completely eaten!), apple bears and stars cut out of cucumber and then put back in the opposite way around, for a fun and colorful effect. 

I made the toasted cheese in the morning and it seemed to last well till lunch time. I imagine it would have been a bit soft, but he preferred it to the uncooked sandwiches, so this may be the route I go down more often in future to make sure I find an empty lunch box at the end of the day!  (and that he has a full tummy to give him the energy to play all day!)
