Teddy Sandwich Bento Lunch Box

Mr 2 is the foodie in my family, eating almost anything he is served. Sometimes though, he can be a little fussy. Lately he's been fussy with, of all things, sandwiches! I'll serve him his lunch and he'll nibble on his fruit and vegetables but barely touch his sandwiches.

I thought, maybe he's a little bored with sandwiches and I need to present his lunch in a more interesting and inviting format to entice him to eat. So, out came my box of Bento Supplies...

I used a Mini Teddy shaped cutter to cut little Teddy's out of his peanut butter sandwich. I placed each Teddy on top of a dried apricot - one of his favorite treats! I figured that if he wanted to enjoy his apricot, he'd have to eat his sandwich first. This backfired a little as he simply lifted each teddy to remove the treat hiding underneath.

There are also grapes in a flower cup and frozen corn in a star cup.

Thankfully, presenting his lunch in this bento inspired box resulted in him devouring his peanut butter sandwich Teddy's (and the rest of his lunch too) - a great success in my opinion!

I'd love to hear from you - what tricks do you do when faced with a fussy eater?
