Girl Scout Bento

Tonight my daughter has her bridging ceremony as she moves from being a Girl Scout Daisy to a Girl Scout Brownie.  So, her lunch today celebrates that.

- 2 Trefoil-shaped sandwiches (stacked) with a Girl Scout pick
- Carrots with ranch
- Daisy shaped cheddar cheese
- Red and golden raspberries in the shape of a daisy
- And, of course, a daisy shaped brownie for dessert!

Camp Bento

My daughter's 1st Grade class is doing a program at school this week called Camp Skeeter -- they pretend like they are away at camp, while learning things about animals and the environment.

I made her a lunch to go along with her day at camp.

Field Trip Bento

Today, my youngest is going on a class field trip.  They had to pack a completely disposable lunch.   I used a strawberry container as the box and lined it with a piece of wax paper to protect everything from the slits in the box.  I used paper, rather than silcone, cupcake folders to separate the food.   

• 2 butterfly-shaped PB&J sandwiches
• Carrots with ranch (disposable ranch cup from a fast food restaurant)
• Red grapes
• Cheddar flowers

There is what it looked like all packed up and ready to go...I added an extra piece of wax paper to the top to help keep everything secure.

• Carrots, sugar snap peas with ranch
• Red grapes with a pinata pick
• Babybel with a "5" cut-out
• Mini Milky Way
