Tom the Turkey

Every since I saw this adorable turkey lunch at Bento for Kidlet, I have been looking forward to recreating it.   I used dough presses to make the turkey feathers and then just added a bit of the heal of the bread for his head. 

 

• 2 dough-press sandwiches decorated to look like the feathers of the turkey.   As mentioned above, the turkey's head is just a piece I cut from the heel of the bread and decorated with food safe markers, icing eyes and a carrot nose.
• Red and Green Grapes with a "Give Thanks" cupcake pick
• Carrots with ranch
• Hershey kisses
• Lunchbox Love Note from the Thanksgiving series

Here are some of the items, or similar items, I used when creating this lunch:

Turkey Bento

I saw this post on Pinterest and it inspired me to make a turkey bento to celebrate Thanksgiving.

•   Turkey sandwich made with 2 circle cookie cutters, icing eyes, a carrot nose and tomato skin.   You may wonder why he's wearing a bow tie (which you can barely see in the picture) and a party hat?   Because they are helping keep his head in place.
• Cucumber slices with a turkey cupcake ring
• Red grapes with a "Give Thanks" cupcake pick
• Candy corn (turkey feathers)
• Lunchbox Love Note from the Thanksgiving Series

What Does the Fox Say?

Have I successfully planted that tune in your head that will stick with you all...day...long?  

I saw these fox cookies on Pinterest yesterday and was inspired to make them into a sandwich.  My girls are nuts about that song and I know they will enjoy opening their lunches to this little guy.

 

• The fox-shaped sandwich is made from a star-shaped cookie cutter.   I made the sandwich out of a wheat bread that has a light color and then cut the top (fur) out of the heel of 100% whole grain wheat bread to show the color contrast.   I cut triangles for the ears and trimmed up around the face to show off his snout.   I finished him off with icing eyes and an M&M for his nose.
• Strawberry slices
• Green peas
• Mini Kit Kat bar
