Shiloh

My daughter's class has been reading the book Shiloh, by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, aloud after recess each day.   I often get a short recap of what happened in the lives of Shiloh the beagle, Marty and the mean Judd Travers, as part of her answer to my daily question, "What happened at school today?"

Today, as a special treat, they get to watch the movie based on the book so I made her a fun lunch to go along with the theme.

• One large dog bone sandwich with the letters spelling out "Shiloh".  I made 2 small bones to add more sandwich.
• Red grapes with the puppy cupcake pick
• Broccoli with ranch and a dog bone pick
• Pretzel sticks
• Hershey Kisses

Beaker from the Muppets!

I came across this lunch on Pinterest and thought it was absolutely adorable.  I'm not sure my version did the original justice, but I didn't show the original to my daughter so she was thrilled with my version ;-)    My daughters LOVE the Muppet Show so they thought this lunch was especially fun.

• Beaker Sandwich Wrap, decorated with carrots for the hair, provolone and food safe marker for the eyes and mouth, cherry tomato for the nose and a cucumber peel tie.  There are actually 2 wraps, stacked.  
• Broccoli with ranch, and a Kermit the Frog cupcake ring
• Grapes with a Miss Piggy cupcake ring
• Babybel Cheese
• York Peppermint Candy

Honey Bee

My mom got me a set of Williams Sonoma spring-themed cookie cutter/stamps last year for Christmas.  In the middle of December, I wasn't thinking bug and flower themed lunches so they got pushed to the back of my bento closet.  I recently rediscovered them and I LOVE them.  The detail that I can get with the stamps is amazing.  I honestly don't think they need the food marker detail but my daughter loves helping me by coloring her lunches with the markers.

• 2 bee-shaped sandwiches (stacked), decorated with food safe markers
• Babybel Cheese with "B-E-E" letter picks
• Raspberries in blueberries in a bee-shaped silicone cup
• Build-Your-Own Ants on a Log (i.e. celery sticks, peanut butter and raisins), decorated with a bee and flower pick
• York Peppermint candy

Smile!

Today's requested theme was "Smiley Faces".  So, this simple lunch is what I came up with:

• 2 smiley-faced sandwiches (stacked).  I made the face using cucumber peel and this nori cutter.
• Carrots and ranch
• Pretzel thins
• Babybel cheese with a smiley face cut using these cutters
• Strawberries with a smiley face pick
• York peppermint candy

Owls

Today's requested theme by the middle schoolers was "owls".  I'm keeping it simple with this owl sandwich made from a circle cutter.   The part I cut from the top of his head is what I used to make the wings.

• 2 owl-shaped sandwiches, stacked.  Decorated with an eye pick and heart pick.  I used carrots for his feet and beak.
• Green peas
• Blueberries with an owl cupcake ring
• Pretzel sticks
• Babybel cheese
• York peppermint patty
